Default APS Billet Upgrade GP feeler

Anyone interested in a GP? Price would probably land in the 2500-2600$ range ( 2-300$ savings) if we can get 5 guys interested.

I am also willing to offer a warranty, 1 year no questions asked on parts replacement should they fail. To date, there have been zero failures.

Can you give some more information and specifics (sizes/flow rates) of your turbos. I couldnt find anything about it on your site either.

Its a billet wheel, 68-76mm compressor exducer depending on what you chose to go with, 3" inlet ( Youll need to use hot water, some patience and elbow grease to get the inlets on, inconel updated turbine wheel, new center cartridge, new cover, new everything except you use your old APS exhaust housing, as thats a custom APS piece.

Ill update the site when I get the parts side of it up and running

Stephen, are you going to PRI? Ill give you a call tomorrow morning.

The smaller turbos are a 56mm inducer, larger turbos are a 60mm inducer.

Previously, I only used the 56mm guys in testing. The 60s spool really really well, but need RPM because they flow so well.

The 56s are awesome in terms of compromise. If you never plan on making 1000 rwhp, they fit the bill the best.

The smaller wheels are really nice for wanting a SOLID upgrade, with out sacrifice on spool time. They will flow enough air for 950-1000 totally maxed out, maybe a little more depending on your combo. They hit REALLY hard on the smaller cube stuff, and the center cartridges are proven.

The price is the same between them, so you just need to decide what you want to do with the car.


At this point, I have 2 signed up, so Ill go ahead and offer those guys the deal and anyone that wants to jump in before the new year wont have to worry.

Feel free to call or email. We are working on the online store now, and should have it up and running in the next week or 2.

The smallest 73mm exducer wheel flows ~55 lb/min

Medium 76mm exducer wheel flows ~62lb/min

The largest 82mm exducer wheel flows ~70 lb/min ( Yes, more than a GT35R)

On gates, with the largest wheel, youll pick up 70-100 rwhp with no other changes.

If you want to fab your own inlets, or want to run screens, I have a ported cover option that makes them whistle like a big Peterbuilt, and picks up 20-30 hp, but I dont really push it because its a pain, but more and more dont mind, so Ill just throw it out there.

The inlets on these stock style covers are as large as possible, youll fight to get the inlets on, and putting them in hot water/almost boiling with a little WD40 really helps get them on.

I had them machined that way because the larger that inlet, the more HP we can make at elevated pressure ratios. The last thing you want to do is build a bad *** turbo, and put a restrictor plate on it

I love my LG turbos and no problems so far. With the stock APS turbos i made 633 and with the LGs i made 650rwhp but i removed my roller rockers and added a belt driven scavanging pump after the LG install and before having it retuned ,,,,so its hard to say apples to apples. Im guessing i lost 30 hp with the rockers and pump plus still showed a 17hp gain at the same boost. So ide have to guess a 50hp gain with these over the stock APS ones and didnt notice any lag differance I was happy and there good *** turbos too that louis stands behind!
