You guys that are knowledgeable about the APS kit, is an aftermarket K-member needed?

The kit is designed around the BMR kmember so yes you will need to get one.

Get the BMR, we installed an APS with the UMI and the kit doesn't fit with it very well. The one we did is shown here. http://www.exoticperformanceplus.com...Car.php?car=39 Bob

I'm pretty sure someone tried using the APS kit with the BMR turbo K and it did not work.... The regular BMR k-member is what you need.

Is it true? Then why it's called turbo K-member?

it's a turbo K member for downpipe clearance, for front mount turbos, since the APS kit uses incon style turbo placement (next to the motor) inline with exhaust flow, there are no huge downpipes going through the K member.

you want the regular K member for the APS kit.

Correct, KM 003 is the K member that you need.

The APS kit is designed around our KM003 k-member not the KM013 turbo version.
