A TEC stage 1 is an upgraded stock turbo with both the compressor and exducer upgraded. No ball bearings or anything fancy. just bigger wheels shoved in stock housings. All 1980's era tech. Honestly in 2016 and already blown, they are completely irrelevant and will be headed for the dumpster.
If you are on a budget, the undisputed best option is gt28rs/aka GT2860RS/aka disco potato/AKA JWT sport 700. If new is too spendy, look for a good used set. [ http://specialtyz.com/shop/default/300zx/jwt-sport-700s.html ] If money isn't an issue, things get a bit more complicated, but you need to lay out your plans for the car before anyone can help you there.
Antihero How to have a good time with your 300zx: Don't buy from AMS because it's shoddily "designed", cheaply made knockoff garbage. Ash makes good stuff, but don't buy from straight from ASH if you can't deal with him going MIA. Buy his stuff from SpecialtyZ. Don't put injectors in that aren't 95+ style Nismo or Injector dynamics Do your timing belt when you are supposed to with oem stuff. If a wheel doesn't proudly declare where it's made, you shouldn't be putting it on a 300zx, and if ebay is the best place to get it, that's concerning. Yes, I am talking about those XXR's. Don't put on a FMIC that isn't Tom's. That ebay "apollo style" one causes a ton of lag and lost horsepower.
