a companies employees reflects how the company is and conducts business, the incon turbo kit was the best thing since sliced bread but the owner/company was ****. Someone can make the best kit ever and still be the worse business person in the world. I will say that the APS kit is very very nice but as said before the company is reflected by its employees. In short APS can make good bread (i.e. turbo kit) but cannot supply the peanut butter and jelly (i.e. customer coifidence in their product/company)

I can tell you this knowing how we were treated with Incon I would not put a deposit on a kit before I get it and I sure as heck wouldn't take a customers money not know if I would get a kit or not. We got stuck in that situation before and are thankfully smart enough not to let that happen again.

Well, IMO, its one thing to have him in engineering designing, testing, etc. But SALES? IN THE US? IN THE LS1 MARKET? What a joke.

Why doesn't someone kick his ***. If someone stole my money you know they'd have a few broken bones, but hey that's the jersey side of me taking care of business.

A lot of nerve he has-in my Yoda voice.

I think APS will soon realize that having him on their payroll will essentially prevent their business from expanding they want they want to.

Their kits are nice, expensive too.

I guess that was Joe Prince???? I guess I'm a lucky one who has a decent set of heads (3 years old at this point). I made 430/400 with a TR 224 cam and mac headers.

Conspiracy Theories at work: Dave ended up getting fired from APS, but since they don't communicate with the US that much we have no way of knowing about it. Dave acts like he is representing them and takes large deposits from a few companies, telling them that APS is trying to find American distribution centers, then he runs away to Africa with everyone's money. Hmmmm...

Damn, I dont think it was ever a secret that Inall was working for APS. The kit look suspiciously like Incon... I got the impression from Peter that Inall was being kept in the backroom so as not to start anything with old customers but with all the bad blood him showing up in the US touting APS wares is just crazy.

What's funny is everyone on here bitches that there are very few good turbo kits and when a new one shows up that is top notch you guys bitch about what one of their employees did years earlier. Good grief.

A lot of you deserve the garbage turbo kits that are pawned off here..

mark gotta disagree...if it was u'r money that got ripped i am sure u wouldnt be so mellow.

That isn't surprising considering Inall worked for APS for a number of years before leaving to start Incon.

Ouch. That's a little heavy handed. They've closed some of my posts for the same reason.

I thought some of you guys that have been around a while would get a kick outta this. Look out for APS Turbo Systems.

Thanks for the heads up and thank you for your recent dealing with a set of AFR heads. (225cc small bore 74cc-64cc issue). It's business practice like that, that sets you apart from others.

You were probably handed out a 24-hour suspension. A warning slap.

CF is full of pussies, don't bother going over there unless you're shopping for your "show" mods only. Anything that makes power.....come to LS1tech.
