So im starting to piece together parts for a build im gonna be doing. I was going to go with an APS kit but to me the price is quit rediculous considering the amount of problems people have with the turbos and the fact that the turbos are so much of the price in any kit. I have the experience in welding and fabrication as well as equipment to hopefully be able to fabricate my own pretty well.
For you guys out there who have done your own can any one recomend a good website with a decent amout of tubing, flanges, etc.

Also ive been studdying everyones twin setups which is what i want to do and im seeing all the piping required in a single inlet single outlet intercooler and i think it would be alot more effictient to just run a dual inlet on each side and exit out the top straight into the intake.. does anyone know where i can get one like the APS kits have? or what company might make those for them? any help would be great.

Ide see if APS would sale you a kit minus the turbos first! It may be worth it !
I actually like how my APS kit fit and looks LOL and now that i upgraded to the LG turbos ,theres not too many TT kits out there that that can now compare to what i have now IMO

i agree on all those points. from all the pictures and reviews ive seen the kit fits amazing and is very complete i just dont feel like paying all that money for a kit with turbos that are in some cases gonna leak at startup.

^^^^^ really? would you happen to ave any other websites to offer some parts?

You can always look for an INCON TT kit which the turbos are bulletproof, ball bearing GT28 up to Gt30's i think. Internal waste gates and the fit is really nice too just v band right off the back of the turbos and run your exhaust

APS will not sell their kits without turbos.

I'm thinking about making a thread calling out APS just to see what happens. I want a TT kit so bad but I refuse to pay for APS's kit just to throw the turbos in the trash.

I know Ridgecrest, ah the desert. Keep me posted on your build, depending on your workmanship I may be interested in purchasing a kit if you would be interested in that.

Also, thank you for your service to this great country!

Thanks for the support man not much of it left in this country all people are worried about now is the death of micheal jackson and other non productive members of society its bullshit. Any ways yeah my dad owned an auto repair shop i worked in for a long time before i joined the army so its a full service show with MIG/TIG and everything and i used to do a decent amount of fabrication ill definatly be keeping people updated

Thanks for keeping us all updated on the kit.

Showing my support and respect is the least I could do, not enough people understand the importance of the military and it's personnel.

I don't know who sells one like that, but IC of that size normally costs a good 1k more than he is advertising.

Normally these ICs have to be custom made.
