That said, we do listen to all customer feedback and will respond with product upgrades where practical though we also want to keep the twin turbo system affordable for all F body enthusiasts.

If you are taking votes on future upgrades I vote for the larger turbo option.
Screw the Y pipe (true duals is the only way to go with twin turbos ) and T clamps(I can buy my own if needed)!

oil restrictors are not a big deal and are commonly used on turbo cars. some cars might end up needing them and others wont. its a $3.00 item that takes 5 minutes to install...i dont think its big deal.

Probably all turbo kits come with issues, hopefully they will all be minor like this for the APS kit.
My apologies for passing along information

Keep us posted on the 65lb. wheels. I'm assuming the cover will need to be machined to match? Is this something we can have done on an exchange basis later on?

Just sent my fax for final payment to you Peter a few minutes ago. Course with time change and all figure will take awhile. Am a bit hyper to get my system. 420 engine hp or so that have now is beginning to bore me! I need some boost! 
Interesting about bigger wheels. But can they be swapped by us or would we have to ship turbos back for install?
