Default Whats up with the APS turbo upgrade?????

Well the car has been sitting for 4 months now, due to the driverside turbo going out. They sent my shop a new replacement, but why would I put that turbo in there again just for it to go out again. I need the Upgrades NOW!!!
I dont see how hard it is to put two turbos and two inlet pipes in a box and ship them to the USA. I sent peter a PM and I know he got it, why not just PM me back saying something. It pisses me off I spent so much money on the damn car and now I can't drive it due to a F$#@ed up TURBO. On the other hand I went out and bought a 01 Speedway WHite Z06 to hold over my sports car needs.

All I want is a Date when its coming out. Please chime in.

if you got a replacement i don't see the point in not installing them..... APS uses oem Mitsu turbo's sometimes you get a bad one but i would not be worried about the replacement failing.

how exactly did your turbo go bad? I had one to blow apart. It was the driver side one.

Every turbo kit has problems Kinda like your kit. APS kit dropped me from mid 10's to 9's. Id say its working well. I dont see your car running faster than mine.

Sorry for my delay in getting back to you, I've been working in the shop for the last month and had very limited time to answer pms or emails.

I don't have any date right now as the priority was always the complete F body twin turbo system with larger turbos. When I have any information of the larger turbo upgrade option I will post on the FI forum.

Thanks,

Peter

i thought the upgrade kit was just new turbos. same system. what the hell do you have to complete.

i am waiting for my kit to be completed. last july i sent you 5600(or something like that) for a turbo kit that will support 18psi(1000hp) and you sent me one that the tubes don't go much over 14.

so Peter, i am asking you to please send me the rest of my kit at your cost. Please send all of us APS Twin f-body guys the rest of our kit.
