I doubt it. If you allready have it then try it. Problem is your going to have to reclock the turbo's. I would be leary of doing anything of the sort for warranty purposes.

you have to clock one of the turbos for the install, regardless of K member. Step 35 of the install.
"Loosen the V Band clamp on
the RHS turbocharger (Item
42) and rotate in the
direction shown in order to
provide clearance for further
installation steps.
Install the RHS oil supply
hose (Item 143) with a
12/18mm copper washer
(Item 145) on either side of
the fitting and retain with a
12mm x 1.5 banjo bolt (Item
144).
36
Rotate back in the direction
shown until 2mm clearance
between the banjo bolt and
stud is achieved.
Tighten the V Band clamp."

If APS designed the system around a BMR K-member, I would use a BMR K-member. I have heard it too many times, "It should be fine". Don't take the chance.

Don't be worried Ryan. If you run into any problems you have one of the most knowledgable APS dealers in the country right around the corner.

I hope the BMR works fine, once I get it, if i see any issues, I've already talked to my fabricator, and if gussetts or extra bracing is necessary, we're going to modify it before install, and repowdercoat it.
MadBoost, thanks for the offer, if needed, I'll certainly let you know. I have a couple of items I need to buy before the install, so it will be a couple of weeks before I start.

Ryan, The F body twin turbo system was entirely designed around the BMR K member (PN KM 003 ) so that would be the best K member in terms of compatibility with the APS twin turbo system. I'm sure you could add extra steel gussets to strenghten the K member if required,

Was the kit designed around the turbo K-member or just the normal one? Also we have had really bad customer service with BMR, both our shop and the customers car we are working on. we have called and left messages for the past few months and still have not got one call back. I couldn't believe it when the customer told us about it then they ignored us as well. I would expect much better from a company that well known and so big. Im not bad mouthing them its just the experience we have have with them building this customers car was not what i expected from them.
