that's funny - rather the irony of 550+ being low these days.

Doesn't seem that bad to me. Less than 7psi for 550...

Lol...................550 rwhp/550 rwtq low on a bone stock engine at 7 PSI with a very conservative tune?

Gee, some of you guys are hard to please. Just hit the gas at 2500 rpm in 4th gear and smoke the tires.

peter, dont pay attention to these guys. they have obviously never driven a 550 rwhp car on the street or like to blow up their stock motors often.

great results and great you came to market with it.

Thanks for those kind words and I'm sure that you will be impressed with the fit and finish and performance of the G8 twin turbo system, all good.

Wow, very impressive kit. I'm surprised to see one out so quickly, the car hasn't been on the market too long.

557WHP on 7PSI...dayum

Kit looks amazing!

Putting a turbo on a car may not be that hard....

But putting a turbo on a car, and making it look factory, and work with most of your stock stuff is damn impressive. Great job, great numbers.

I wish we could get the holden UTE here in america, then get an aps twin kit for that. I love that el camino looking thing.

You do need more advice. 550rwhp at 7psi is nothing to sneeze at.

7psi and 550hp on a factory engine, aint too shabby! Crank that boost up!
