2003/2004 Nissan 350Z Turbocharger Systems Installation Instructions

Remove the turbocharger system from its carton and inspect for any obvious physical damage. All kit components are thoroughly inspected and carefully packaged prior to shipment from the factory. If any shipping damage is evident, contact your supplier and request that they process a claim with the shipper involved. Be sure to review the parts list on page 3 to verify that you have all necessary system components to proceed. If any components in the parts list are missing, contact Turbonetics’ customer service staff.
Although this turbocharger system has been designed to use many of the factory emissions controls (P/N 15136 includes a replacement catalytic converter), it is not currently “smog” legal in California, and therefore recommended for “off road” use only. In other states, check local laws regarding aftermarket modification to emission controlled vehicles.
This Turbonetics’ turbocharger system is available in 3 combinations. P/N 15134 and 15136 are intended for the typical enthusiast, and include all necessary components and hardware to simply “bolt on” the turbo system and drive. Both of these systems are identical except for 1 exhaust tube (which does or doesn’t contain an aftermarket catalytic converter). P/N 15138 is intended for the “tuner” enthusiast who wants the freedom to choose his own fuel components and controls, and includes all the same components and hardware as P/N 15134, except NO fuel injectors, fuel pump or ECU upgrade.
