how hard is aps tt install? Debating on if I should do it myself or pay my tuner? He's not cheap at all but he does great work. I'm replacing the motor as well so ill have the motor and all out as well... And I have a lift just looking for some opinions thanks

I didn't remove my engine, so the hardest part was the k-member. Everything else was easy. It was straight forward. Took a while though. Did the easy stuff first, washer fluid reservoir & over-flow, then FMIC, and so on. Needed the car M-F at the time so I installed it myself over several weekends.

Haha...... It's very time consuming and much easier if you pull the motor and I'm not talking about from the top lol. The kit is a very nice piece though wish I could have one.

Call bmr they have two now aps specific! One for more room for inlets and one with more room for larger bb turbos! I have the original that the aps manual calls for and the one for the larger inlets (not installed yet) looks like a ton more room for inlet tubing!

Hello ,
I have the msd starter but i didnt installed it yet because the oem works great with only heat shield.
so imo if you still dont have it dont buy it until your starter fail
.
Good luck.

I havnt done an APS kit but ive done a bmr turbo kmember, with a pift doing it urself shouldnt be horrible, did mine with a friend on jack stands in my driveway, so hilding up and tryin to keep it alligned while putting bolts in were a bitch, even with a jack helping it, just get the little dowels/alignment pins in there holes and u should be good
