^^Please explain how you guys know this for sure.
The VQ37VHR in the G37/370Z has dual intakes. Could be a single turbo feeding both intakes.
It is possible that it is a G35 with twin turbos, but you can't always assume twin turbos with that intercooler.

The car pictured is a G35, not a 37. It's an '03 - '06 with the VQ35DE motor, not the dual intake VQ35HR motor. That kit is the Greddy kit with the optional intercooler. The two pipes on the passenger's side come from the turbo. The pipe on the driver's side routes up to the throttle body, taking the same path as a CAI.

Its quite hard to tell without a look under the thing. For every engine layout, there are maybe 3-4 very efficient setups, might be 5-7 not-so efficient but cheaper ones, and the rest are crap. I have no way to tell what's been done with this particular car without looking either under the bonnet or under the body.
