Default APS Display@PRI in O town

APS as in the turbo systems company, Air Power Systems. Which, I am not in any way connected with....and I don't have a turbocharged car(so i'm not biased).

That said.

Your guys display ROCKED atthe PRI trade show(performance racing industries). Fully built setups for you to look at, feel, touch, and imagine in your platform car.

Very nice products guys, if I had my way,...without a doubt, based on what I saw, i'd get one hands down. In anyone else's defense(other turbo companies)...other then manifolds bolted to turbo's, i've never seen an entire kit together, as it would sit in the car, setup, just like that, but i'd imagine thery're kits would look sick as well but, you guys(aps) did it,..and it just looked really well done. Intercooler(s), brackets, manifolds, pipeing, fittings...etc... everything was there for ou to drool at.

Sorry I didn't get a chance to talk to anyone there, as your booth was pretty busy, and you guys were occupied....plus, I was trying to keep up with the couple of people that I was with. Maybe next time. Anyways,...very classy setup,...i'd like to shake howevers hand it was that set everything up. very nice.

Would have said something sooner but,...with the stress of this week, it went outta my mind,...until myself and sprayjunkie where BS'ing tonight about it.

Thats all. Peace out.

Jamie

Just imagine a full turbo kit bolted to an LS2, all the way to the exhaust tips, sitting on the floor with no car attached....
I actually do have a few pics on my cell, but they suck.

...my cell took a crap before the trip..so I borrowed a 5190 nokia..which in itself, sucked.

But yeah, Imagine the entire kit, like you said...front to back,...no chassis...just motor and turbo kit, complete.
