Im just caught in the middle of what I should do. I would like to get to about 1000rwhp. Im running a 408 now with the regular APS kit and im at about 710hp and close to 800tq to the ground. I would really like to get some opinions on what to do. Or what route to take. Is it also worth it getting the MSD APS Starter? And which one would be better for the buck. Thanks in advance.

Actually,,,my stock starter still fits fine with my bigger LG turbos. But ive also had my exhaust turbo housings hot coated which protects the starter a bit too and i wont buy anything from APS ever again Go with the LG turbos atleast you'll have a recoarse

That is what I have been leaning towards more. How much bigger are the turbos; in size, I just want them to fit with my 4l80e in the way.

You'de have to call LG motorsport on that one. Im not sure ,,,is the bellhousing diffrent on a 4l80 then a 4l60? I thought they were the same bellhousings?

I always liked this pic LOL which shows the smaller holed APS oil banjo bolt compared to the bigger LG oil banjo bolt

The turbos are physically the same size. The Inlets are larger, which requires some patience and putting the inlets in hot water and then stretching them over it.

I would avoid dealing with APS at any cost. Deal with Louis and he will treat you right!

Are those #s on the original turbos w/o problems? Wondering because I have the kit, just got it put together this summer and no failure yet! just starting to see some oil from driver housing!

Before you spend the money on the turbos, make sure you have a good drain system, and no obstructions on the return line from the turbos.

The hoses in the kit for the drain lines can get spongey and move around. I would hate to sell a set of turbos because of a drain issue.

Corpse Road, I got your email, hopefully this will help

I haven't had problems with the turbos yet. But I know its just a matter of time. If you do some research on this site about the kit, you'll know why the upgrades are the only way to go.

Thanks in advance, I'm actually go over the car this winter and checking to see what I can replace to make things work better. I will definitely look into the drain lines. But as long as my 1000hp goal is in sight I will be happy.

Stick with Louis at LG.
I am running the extreme kit because that is what I got, but when/if they die, I am going with LG. Louis has been very helpful, and I have not spent a dime with him.
So I know I will get service when I do.

Wow that's awesome. Thanks so much. Hey, Barnat is there a way you could PM me a specs list and of what to buy in order for me to run a pump system like yours? I mean if I am going to be investing another several grand I might aswell go all the way.
