You can start your "customer demand" list with me!!
Ok, Thanks for your insight into the 93 to 97 F body twin turbo system market opportunity and I will certainly discuss this possibility with the power to be. I won't make any promises as we have a huge year already planned for new twin turbo system developments.

That's for that input, a very valid point. APS is using a BMR 4th generation K member with LS1 engine mounts, part number KM 003.

Would there be any problem running the UMI K-member that is on my Firehawk or would I have to make some modifications?

Also, what is the exact BMR K-member part # so I can order that one for my Woman's car and have 0 fitment issues

Thanks Peter!!!

Eventually, I'd like to know if the UMI K-member works with this Twin Setup.

(I think I lost the support of the BMR K-member when I found out that it's considered a "streetable" item, but it's still not exactly streetable)

What do you mean the K-Member is not streetable?

Don't know much about them

Is it even repairable when it does crack?

K-member cracking due to street potholes and such... I just don't like the possibility of a street car having it's K-member crack due to a nasty unseen pothole

If I have a choice, I'd go with UMI.

Yes it is. But BMR (Lee) will hook you up with one if there are no signs of abuse. I mean Im pulling the wheels on my car and coming back down and my K member is perfect. I begged UMI to get me one sooner but they took WAY too long. So I got the BMR KM 003 which has proven to taken the abuse. Plus this turbo kit is being designed around it just like speed incs is. So those are two big time turbo kit makers and Im pretty dam sure they know what works and what doesnt. Not to knock UMI because they make a great K member.

oh ok, I thought it was something with aftermarket K-Members in general. I've heard a few stories of BMR products failing, so I am not shocked that their K-Members have failed.

Will do though an early F body system would definitely not be in our plans for 07, 08 at earliest if we do develop that system.

Thanks,

Peter
