I have talked to Josh before and his work seems to be top notch. However I don't know if he makes a twin turbo setup.

Why do you need two turbochargers? George Scott over at Turbo Technology just went 10.48 on only 6psi in the PINKS all out race last weekend in Seattle

When has that AMERICAN operated company screwed anyone over?

You guys found the manufacturer of the manifolds, but will they sell them regardless of APS owning the design?
here are the exhaust manifolds:

Contradiction?

You didn't answer post number 39.
aps has stated that they will ONLY produce more kits if they have 50 preordered. honestly, i have noticed that they f bodys have more issues than us gto owners, turbo wise. and at 4500 it is not that bad of a price, we had to pay 6300+. so if you pay another 2800 for turbos, you are only in the kit foor 7300, not bad if you think about it, and you can still sell your turbos to help make up the extra cost. but i still think they shouldnt have sold **** turbos

hope this helps
cheers,

$4,500 was a limited introductory price. I think the price is up past $6,000 now.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but does Dave Innal not work for APS? Isn't he he the guy that screwed everybody over on ls1.com years ago? Looks like birds of a feather flock together.

And you know whats sad. The thread posted on LS1.com about this has had ZERO post since it was posted yesterday. You'd thik those clowns would give two ***** about it seeing as how they are part of the f-body community & have already been screwed once by a person in this company.

Granted APS isnt a sponsor on their board but still you'd think that someone over there would have something to say about it. I know a few members here are on both boards still.

From what I remember it was kept hush hush over there the last go around. Last time it was because Elmer was the first to get one of Dave's turbo kits. Who knows what the deal is now.

Anyone reading this should know this isn't the first stunt pulled by these crooks. KEEP YOUR MONEY IN AMERICA! There are plenty of reputable companies here.

Sucks that it has ended but when Dave Inall is involved, game over.

Hopefully an American company will copy the design and produce a quality turbo kit for the old F-body. Since they are not a US company, I don't think there are any laws in place to stop people from copying that design.

Sure it might cost 10k for the kit, but if it works with no issues, most will pay it.
