Great results!
One quick question...
Does anyone know how the TTi X upgraded turbos compare to the GT35R's in terms of lbs/min

Correct, with thee new 70 mm air inlets and with the GT3582r turbos that we package in the C6 ZO6 twin turbo system.

Great results! Those GT35R's are a favorite of mine. Were these run with the same exhaust a/r that you use on the C6 ZO6?

Hey Pete quick question why did you not design the kit from day one around these GT35r turbos? would have saved you a lot of design work and fabrication to go big or go home from the beginning. You know most of the C6z06 guys that blow their factory shortblock or wear them out are gonna want a turbo upgrade and my question is what are you gonna have to offer those customers?????

By the look of the dyno graph I would guess slightly smaller ar.

With peak torque at 5,600 I would think they are the same a/r as the C6 zo6 turbos. (unless boost was brought in soft with the controller)

It might be hard to justify the cost of the GT35R's to people that aren't looking for 1000+hp. (which is likely why the system wasn't based around these initially)

I'm not so sure about that, the base APS F body turbo system will go 850-900 rwhp on a dynoJet dyno with the right combination forged engine and tuning. I guess only time will tell how many guys really want the total expense of a 1000 + rwhp, if they do, we should have the turbo system solution good to go.

At this point what's the difference? For god sake it's 800hp..who needs that much??!! I'm guessing people just want to be able to say 1,000HP. This is insanity! you people are nuts!

Just placed my order

Edit: what are APS's plans for the 5th Gen?? Need a donor car?

Simply because we believed that the vast majority of C5 cutsomers would be happy/satisfied with between 550 to 850 rwhp, the base C5 twin turbo system will support that power level with a forged engine and supporting mods.

The C6 ZO6 twin turbo system will offer power levels ranging from 620 rwhp at low boost on a stock engine right up to 1150-1200 rwhp on a forged 427 engine at higher boost. We don't plan at this time on offering any higher power options for the C6 ZO6, that smaller end of the market can be covered by expensive one off custom twin turbo systems.
