Hoping the kandos work good for you guys.I should have just stuck with them it was so much more for the LG ones. And haven't got them in yet either. If only you could swap out the turbos like an sts or more top mount type of setup.Oh well. I am still hoping could maybe run hard inlet pipes with the bmr aps kmember.

I'd like to know more information on the GT35's Big bird. If you can provide it. I had read that I think it was LG that had taken vette APS (GT35) and put it on a Fbody, and it fit, but besides that, because of APS's custom designed exhaust housing, didnt think it was realy possible unless you could have gotten your hands on vette APS GT35's. 
Ummm
So, where did you get yours, and/or how much did they cost?
Pm if required.

I recently snagged a pair of Kando Dynamic centers off ebay to replace my SMOKING aps cartridges. They appear to be genuine Mits, but I'm not an expert either. Began the swap over Memorial Day weekend and thought I'd be done by now.....but no cigar. So far it's been one thing after another....none of which can't be completed given enough time and determination. Unfortionately, my K-member is giving me fits 
and I'm about ready to introduce my cut-off wheel to it. It's a UMI unit of some sort. At any rate, I'm re-loading my efforts over the weekend and hope to have a possitive outcome in the near future.

lol. well shipping is taking time. seems to take longer than normal. but i think i am having a change of heart. if i get these i will probly just sell them on here. and put my APS kit on my other ta ( stock) and get the new Modular Twin kit. i can fit twin gt42 turbos in that thing. make a lot more power with out trying so hard. plus if i ever build a 455ci ( or 427) i know i will have enough turbo for it.

Well people, I finally got of my *** and climbed under the car to see which of the two turbos failed. The second APS's oil seal went bad and leaked oil into the exhaust last fall. I hadn't driven it since because if I had the tree huggers would have lynched me for polluting the air. Anyway the Kando is still working great, I just disconnected the oil feed to the APS for now so I can drive it. I still runs like a raped ape and my boost comes on fairly fast. Maybe the APS is still spinning, 'til it seizes up. Still selling parts and saving for upgrades, LG's or whatever I find.

You disconnected the oil line to that turbo now? You can run them without water cooling mine have run like that for like 6000 miles but you can't run them without oil for more than a few minutes. That turbo will be dying completely really quick and not sure would want to take chance it might not send parts thru my engine. I would be removing it asap and putting the car down until you get lg or another kando or whatever.
My aps still seem to be working not bad but until actually pull off inlet pipes and check other piping won't really know for sure.I am not seeing clouds out the back though and still seeing boost but of course one turbo could make up for the other one.
I will get those LG on my car soon ,real shame you can't just put in the new centers without pulling off the kmember.
