Turbo Component? APS 2 Inlet 1 Outlet Intercoolers?
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.

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

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