LOL I'm surprised I'm the first to post up about these. I'm putting them in tomorrow and will have to get the car back to Vengeance for a new tune.

KnightmareLS1,

I noticed on your Sig you say that you got some Dyno numbers but then the turbos took a dump. Did you contact APS and try to get a warranty on them ? or what happened ?

I emailed them SEVERAL times and got nothing back. Everyone said that it'd be easier to email because of the time difference. I haven't seen Peter on these boards in months either

How do these compare to the extreme kit F body (The larger turbos)? How much does both turbos cost to upgrade them or are the extreme larger turbos good? I think they say 65lbs min. I am putting this kit on a 441 LSX

Sorry for the time lapse, I've been in the field for the past week and a half Shop was closed 4th of July weekend so going to start the swap tomorrow bright and early. The plan is to have the turbos in by the end of this weekend and get the car back to Vengeance next weekend before I gotta head back to the field I REALLY need some seat time brfore this next deployment

So are you swapping out the turbos yourself? How hard is it to drop the turbos with the APS kit? I am doing the APS kit when I get back this december from being deployed.

Drivers side can be done easily but hear passenger side is not as easy so likely best way is to drop kmember and then undo v band clamps so think you can leave exhaust manifold and housing still bolted on and simply pull the center carts out and sway. Take some pics maybe knightmare .Or one of you other guys doing the swap.
