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.
What were the APS kits listed (price $) as when they first came out?

I saw this link on corvetteforum and had to weigh in on the subject. Why can't APS just tell everyone what turbo's and manifolds they are using? It seems very simple. I have only had dealings with LPE, and I can say that they are one of the most professional companies I have ever dealt with in my life. I bought my LPE car USED and the fine folks at LPE have given me information on my car and helped me with several inquiries. All at NO CHARGE. Now that is the way you do business. Maybe APS should look at LPE as their model.

I would tend to agree. But I do see some folks on corvetteforum that are pleased with the APS system. In the end, you get what you pay for!

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

What a f'n joke... Peter you're a first rate *****. I've been around the Corvette world for a long time and APS came flying onto the scene w/ a "great" product. Put Peter was such an ******* that he got run off of the vette forums. People couldn't make the power APS was claiming w/ the kit and he basically said that every American shop didn't know what they were doing. Finally it came out that the inlet ducting was collapsing under boost etc.

I think it's pretty apparent by Silverado's posting that this is all Chinese ****.

You should have never been allowed to add ANYTHING to this site, let alone this thread.

You think its comical, obviously. I don't think you would think it was quite as funny if you were the one that was getting shitty parts for a build that you already had $10k+ in. Many people on this site paid YOUR PAYCHECK for quite a while and this is how you repay them.

It's not that you are really a shitty sponsor, you are a shitty person.

Its very, very, very sad that a vendor wont disclose information on a product they dont intend to ever make again. Just goes to show how shitty that product was.
