See if we can get the manifolds in an actual t3 flange
LG should take one of these kits, get a place to build the manifolds and intercooler, put their good turbos on it and sell the **** out of it. After they do that they need to call APS and tell them all to go eat Kangaroo ****

I've said it to those that are local to me, this kit is no better than the EBAY turbo kits and most likely produced together at the same plant.
Same junk turbos, hotsides look the same(welds and materials) and we know for a fact that the manifolds are chinese items as well.
Cheers,
Jeremy

I wouldn't go that far....
True, the site is maintained by the capital that the sponsors put into it, but in return the sponsors gain revenue from the users (us), and they continue to provide support to the site. I'll be the first to admit that I was an Air Power Systems rider when I first saw the kit, but the (obvious) level of support provided quickly changed my mind. No disrespect BBall, & your right, cash is king, but the other sponsors on here stand behind their products and good name...

There have been many more then that for sure. The problem is the f-body community seems to have a very short memory when it comes to thieves and liars. I hate to say it but anyone who knew Dave Inall was in with APS and bought a system anyway got what they had coming. I try to keep track of sponsors who shut down for bad business practices and see where they end up. We have a many current sponsors that employ people who have screwed the community over plenty, but they seemingly aren't hurting for business. Buyer beware is the lesson here. Good luck guys on getting any satisfaction.

I give the chinese exhaust manifolds credit though. They are holding up thus far on people's kits. The problem is the fact that the turbo's are not genuine mits and that PeterPecker refuses to address a problem that he helped to create.

I can't believe how smug and fucked up Peter is acting...
From the get go, when I first saw the APS kit, it was one of my favorite designs (visually). Now after reading this, I wouldn't buy one single item from them...
that company and that employee should be stripped of all rights. Seriously what a douchebag... I'm sure he's sitting back and enjoying every bit of this too...
I say post this on every damn forum you can think of... all of the vehicles that they produce kits for on their site.. FIND THE FORUMS and POST THIS THREAD!!!

You want a twin turbo kit that is top notch with manifolds made in AMERICA?
Then you will need to pay an well grounded AMERICAN business about 13-15k to send you a kit.
I said it right off the bat..."For the price it has to be CHINA!!!!
For under 6-8k to get a complete well rounded turbo kit you need one of two things off the top of my head.
One being a small unstable operation. The other being a bigger more stable operation getting parts out sourced from China or the like.
