Peter, I think you'd be better off editing your FIRST post... For people don't read threads
To answer some of the people's questions in here, I'm thinking we're going to have to wait for the kit to be final and there being real numbers given to us from APS (with info on the test car - [other mods]).
But, I am interested to know if there's a possibility to upgrade the size of the compressor wheel (larger compressor wheel -> more flow) like you can do to the Incon kits... BUT! I'm not expecting you to give us an answer, for this kit is not final...

Ok glad to hear can keep my air conditioning. Also glad to hear about gravity feed since pumps are extra stuff and complicate things a bit. If the system is gravity feed then the turbos must be mounted higher than the gto system which uses a pump.
They look pretty low.So with higher turbo mounting would think ground clearance from the turbos would be good and yes understand you can still get low from the exhaust but again not overly worried would go back to stock height if necessary not a big deal to swap out springs.
My questions have pretty much all been answered now thanks Peter.

Does APS have parts for their kits that people can buy? I am wondering because if you guys make these in batches and sell them all do you have any parts inventory?
For example if an intake pipe was smashed during shipping, would a guy be able to buy this piece?
