I think that would make a killer setup, sound like stock and be capable of biiiiigg numbers

I still am waiting for 100% confirmation of being able to keep the air conditioning and also curious to see if the system will cause any problem with ground clearance although can go back to stock ride height if necessary since only dropped about 3/4 to maybe an inch now anyway. Also if the turbos are mounted low like the gto system then you pretty much need the oil pump.If they are mounted higher than you could use the simpler gravity return for oil. I do prefer no pump.Sts uses the oil scavenger pump and not thrilled with that really. Still the kit sounds good pricewise and the company sounds very solid. Very interested and be awaiting more info as it becomes available.

I have purchased and am in the process of installing my APS C6 system as we speak. The quality is second to none and fitment has been great thus far. I am sure their F-Body system will not dissapoint!

Can slightly larger turbos be fitted w/o clearance problems? Everytime I get under my car I laugh at the amount of space those turbos already have. I may have to call you and discuss this more in depth as you guys don't seem to divulge your turbo specs for the public.

Okay, just to get this straight for sure. You are saying that there will be NO (or most likely none) fabrication needed for the Trans Am bumpers for the IC system? Does this go the same for the Formula front bumpers? I ask because as you probably know, the TA's and the Formula's don't have the same amount of room that a Camaro has up front.
If I was interested, I also wouldn't want to hack up my front bumper for air flow, or clearance.
Also, what would this system make safely (pump gas) off of a stock motor? Or do you not reccomend running a stock bottom end with it? Plus what is the max psi the Turbo's will put out?

I'm relatively new to Turbos so can anyone tell me if these turbos will be "efficient" with a 427 ci motor, or would they be better suited for a stock cube 5.7L? I understand they can produce up to 1000RWHP, but that says nothing about what CI motor they work best on. Other than that I am VERY interested in trying this kit on my 95 bird (with a new 427 LSx of course).

exactly what turbos do these compare to? T-67's? T-60's?

so this is a gravity drain back to the oilpan
or back to a holding tank with a pump
and how about turbo size
I am building a 403 ci LS2 with afr 225 heads
how large of a turbo will fit with this kit
I was planing on useing a pair of T-4 66 or 67 BB turbos
how much power could your turbos support on a 403 inch engine with good heads and 93 octane pump gas
I am shooting to have 900+ RWHP
