Well if anyone wants to know as far as an update goes I just preordered myself a set of complete turbos, turbine housings and all that have the APS proprietary flange that will work with f-body's, GTO's, G8's, and I believe even the corvettes. I jumped on this as the new housings have the optional larger A/R like the extreme f-body kits for nuts like me who have larger cubes and it is my understanding there will still be the smaller size A/R as an option for anyone running stock cubes or just a little bigger.
And the best part of all is these turbos will use a new Precision 6235 turbo with a Billet wheel and is also Ceramic Ball bearing. According to Precision it should flow 68lb/min which should be plenty for my goals of a 1000rwhp on my ERL 427. The name of the place I got them from is DKT Performance which I know is a non sponsor although I think that will be changing soon and please don’t completely bombard me for their website as it is my understanding it won’t be up till next month I believe. If you want their contact info please pm me so I don’t break any rules or upset anyone.
Hope this helps anyone like me who is in the same boat.

Why doesn't anybody simply bolt-up a GT3582r w/ T04E 3' in and 2' out compressor housings and get a custom downpipe made to replace the APS downpipes?
Can somebody please explain?
Getting a custom turbine housing machined will be more $$$ than to get replacement divorced downpipes made.

KWIKSS runs a GT35R compressor on the regular APS T28 exhaust housing. The issue he ran into was on the inlet side. Some modification was required but the largest obstacle is the Inlet system. The compressor cover inlet is in a very tight spot with the steering shaft on one side and the K-Member on the other. We were going to build some out of stainless and it proved to be a very difficult task, cost and time wise, so it was abandoned for screens.
Just a little FYI.

i also pre ordered the Ball bearings that Warpnova ordered. sounds like a great option. and guy was great to talk to on the phone. seemed like he has been working at this for a while.
but can someone post a picture of the MSD Slim starter. i have one. and have it clocked but........ the only way i can get it to work is it has only one bolt holding it.
Wild Ta can you post up pictures. i see you have the APS stage two. is that the extreme kit?

bad ***. i know they have like ten spoken for.
he also was telling me about a guy in New jersey with a 347 Built C5 getting a set. he is hoping to have that car and a local 427 f-body up and running in a couple of weeks. these 6235 should make great power on my 402. cant wait.

I don't have any pics of the starter but my kit came with replacment mounting plate to alow the starter to be clocked correctly.
