I know I'm going to get flamed for this but here it goes...

I think a lot of the problem with the APS crowd is people bought a kit that was designed for stock applications and wen't out to conquer the world on the dyno. If you know anything about turbos, turbo sizing, and surrounding components, you would know the F-Body kit was NOT designed to support 1000rwhp.

Granted, people have made tremendous power, the turbochargers themselves are inherently prone to failure due to back pressure, over-spinning, and trying to make them something they are not.

Why hasn't the import crowd complained about failed turbochargers? I've personally installed, tuned, or had a hand in completing 4 APS 350z cars and every single one is still running like a champ.

So before we proceed, I guess my real question is, how many Extreme Kits turbos have failed? I'm asking because I have yet to see any.

How long have they been running?

The problem here is that the turbo just can not achieve what APS said it could without failing in a unreasonable amount of time. A V8 and a V6 have very differing power bands. Could that be why they have failed so many times on a LS1?

Regardless, I wouldnt put a system on ANY car I owned if the company had a "spokesman" like Dick ie Peter.

The fact that these were advertised to be capable of 18+ PSI and big numbers led a lot of people into the kits to find out that they're failure prone past stock levels has a LOT to do with the dissent.

My turbos started going bad and smoking while i was putting my 500 (non boosted) break in miles on my new forged 364. LOL I actually thought it was the rings breaking in untill i actually started hearing the turbin hitting the housing. After i changed out my drivers side turbo ,half the smoke disappeared and noticed a bunch of play in the passanger side turbo I just ripped the whole underneith apart and put in the LG turbos Almost done ,FINALLY Peter and APS suck kangaroo ***!

If that asinine post is not enough to ban this *******...I dont know what to say.

The majority of enthusiasts in these boards are indeed from the f-body community. I think an official word of what is going to happen with this kangaroo rapist is needed. How can someone pretends to make business here and talks in that manner to people which are only asking legitimate questions?

If he were to atleast OFFER a 20% discount to those that send in their bad turbos and are inspected by APS and proven bad LOL Theyde APS would clear their name some with us as Peter,, But NOOOOOOOOOO why would they do that for us ?
We all should have known better when we all knew from the begining even before the first kits went out that Dave Inall from INCON was working for their program that we were all going to get fucked somewhere LOL I just never would have guessed knock off turbos! Never!.Even the INCON TT Kit that Dave made was a bad *** TT kit and had bullit proof GT28 turbos. Ide even bet if Dave were totally incharge ????of APS's F body kit that he would have used a good turbo verses what we got!But this is what happens when your being backed by or working for a cheap *** greedy mother ******* kangaroo company that could care less about its customers
I REALLY hope somebody starts a poll /vote to get him thrown off of this site! Please ,,somebody ??

You're a lucky s.o.b. that no one has flown out there yet and beat the **** out of you. I can't even imagine being one of these guys with their engines totally fucked because of some false advertisement.

I applaud your valiant effort and persistence and your posts make me actually lol. But it's obvious that he's ducking and dodging this question for a reason. From the looks of that; it would lead me to believe that they're knock-offs (obviously). I highly doubt he's going to admit to something like that due to he can probably be sued for false advertisement. All they would have to do it print this thread and BAM! There's your proof...

So, who do you not wanna help? If you don't wanna help me I have no problem sending a PM to everyone on this forum with an APS kit asking them to find out what parts you have and how much you want for them.

I doubt that the APS 350Z turbos are the same as the F-Body knock offs.
