I heard rumors that the kit is out of production due to world financial crisis. Is this true?
Anyone has a kit in stock for immediate purchase?

the kit is out of production. they will possibly make more if they have enough of a demand, they need 50 orders. lgsotorsports might have one, the price is high, imo. there are only two that i know of that are NIB. i have one and another guy on the other forum has one

Been a lot of posts about APS turbos blowing up. You might want to try a search before committing, escpecially if they're out of business and can offer no or limited support.

I don't think aps is out of business they just aren't making that kit right now is what I think was said. So far my aps turbos are still working fine knock on wood and I have not had any problems with dealings with aps. Not saying they don't need to work on their customer relations or their turbo quailty control.

This is for a friend that wants that kit. I'm trying to sway him to a KB instead.

Correct, APS will produce more GTO twin turbo systems as soon as we have production time available which hopefully will be before the end of 09,

Cheers,

Peter

i love it! that is great idea, no grease finger prints on the pages. a few guys at work, looked at the book and they have never seen a manual as well written, oem or after market. it looks so easy even a bone head like me can install it

peter, i thought you need to have a order for 50 before you would make more?
