C6 or C5? The C5's O2 placement is just behind the turbo's, nothing to run above the tunnel plate. Next time I'm in there I'm going to put extensions on and attach them forward of the bell housing since I'm running a LS3 pan now and have some extra room. That's IF we keep the O2's on in the first place seeing as how lazy they are with the positioning.

Will link this to some other forums. Sorry you guy's have to deal with such a douche, and a poor business man. I feel bad for any damaged motors. All that money and time. Makes me sick. **** off for the "US companies" comments. Companies with your type of business ethic is what ***** our country up. *******.

I finally showed my wife this post to prove i wasnt the only one that got screwed by APS and that i just didnt spend ANOTHER $2800 on top of the price of this APS kit for performance gains. LOL We were also talking about how lucky we are owning a tree service where i can come up with extra money once in a while for emergencys like this and how its really fucked up for ((ALOT)) of that others that work for a hourly rate and have saved forever from of every paycheck to buy this APS kit and to now have their turbos **** themselves or worse,,,,,,,paid a shop to boot to install this kit, because either not mecanically inclined ?or no time to self install and now there rides are down with no other options out there but to spend another $2800 plus install !or to just pull their kits and sell em? Im sure theres alot of guys in this boat that are just sick to there stomach !

If you are serious about doing the manifolds, id look into making them in the US. The shipping cost on them alone has to almost double the price of a set of them and you easily come out ahead if you take that out of the equation.
However, without the whole kit I just dont see anyone making money just by doing the manifolds. Youve got to get the whole enchilada out there for people to play.

Guys this is such a shame to see this man once again destroy his reputation , cause i really like the design of this TT kit
For what it's worth, he burnt his bridges many years ago in Australia and was disowned from the Ozi LS1 community.
His attitude and his inferior Unichip got him in trouble back then.
I tried to talk to him about a year ago and he brushed me off like i was nobody once he realized i was in Australia.
He was rude and arrogant to say the least.
For technical advise he pointed me to a shop in Australia that is a laugh in the performance community and has the reputation of blowing stuff up in order to learn!
Peter , when will you ever learn . . . .
