Default APS Twin Turbo Kit LS1 Fbody

Anyone here have any experience with this kit? Does APS even sell it anymore? What are some other good options for a twin turbo kit?

Aps quit selling them because of constant turbo failure. You can get replacement turbo's but that is more money. Do a search for aps and see all the problems that crop up.

^ Yeah that is it in a nutshell, the turbos were prone to failure. My car was an APS setup at one point in it's life. Those things would light off quicker than anything, but in the end, it was not going to support my power goals, and it blew the turbos at only 9psi and 604whp, so I sold the kit. Glad I did.

I am a former APS owner too. The kit is great if you dont want to upgrade and make more power. If you are content with 500 to 550 hp, then this kit is for you. I wasnt content only making 603 hp, and decided to sell mine.

I know the APS kit very well. It can be a pain to work on, especially when you start changing turbos (4" covers). I have quite a bit of time in making mine right. Big power is available. I have had nothing but hurdles out of my car. Just installed the MWC manual rack to alleviate problems with air filter. Could have made it work with stock rack and modified steering shaft, but the time invested would not have been worth it. Need to update thread.

Overall solid kits, just need to upgrade turbos. Anything from a 5862 to a 6870 can drop right in.. You can stick with a 3 inch inlet and still do well over a 1000whp.
