Default APS Turbos from Corvette C5

Category: Engine - Power Adders
Price: $1500
Part Fits: 93-02 Chevrolet Camaro, 93-02 Pontiac Firebird, Corvette, 04-06 Pontiac GTO
Location (State): NJ
Item Condition: Used
Shipping Information: Item Can be Shipped
Engine: LS2/LS3/LS7/L92/LS9, LS1/LS6
LS Engine?: Fits LS Engine

Up for sale is 2 original APS turbos off a Corvette C5 kit. I upgraded to the larger turbo's after a year and have these available for someone looking to have a backup or a second set to send out for upgrades.

Turbo's were taken off in perfect running condition oil and water lines were used. Never burned any oil. There were many reports of bad turbo's for the F-body kits however on the earlier C5 Corvette kits, I don't recall anyone with a problem with them. I Ran 7lbs of boost mainly with some 10lb sessions as well. Motor was stock 346 so turbo's were never pushed. Approximately 2500 miles on the turbo's

Hopefully this will help someone out looking to get a replacement set. These will fit on the F-body, G8, GTO, and Corvette APS turbo kits as they all used the same turbo's.

Id hate to see somebody pay $2500 for these and they crap out . Not trying to mess up your sale, but be ready for some backlash.

I'm pretty sure only the fbody turbos ended up being junk.

So are these GT35r's then, correct? If so, the APS GT35r's are good turbos. Not like the Mitsu20g's that the Fbody came with.

No backlash would happen as these are proven good working turbo's. Some people had gotten duds brand new from APS which these are not

So for anyone with an APS kit that has a dud turbo and can't find a replacement anywhere this would be for them. APS isn't selling turbo's anymore and the Exhaust housing is proprietary to APS only so no where to be found as far as I know.

Willing to split up with two buyers if both parties are interested in only 1 turbo.

From what I have seen this is correct, no one was having problems like the fbody crowd over on the corvette forum. Neither did I see reports on the GTO boards of dud turbos.

No these are the original 50lb/min turbo's that came with the Corvette C5 kit.

I upgraded to the 65lb/min turbo's with the 1.06 A/R exhaust that they offered only for a short while (same turbo's as the Fbody Extreme Kit) and have the 50lb/min turbos for sale.

Thanks for the look out.

Yes, they are the same as the F-Body turbo's... Only thing is they may need to be clocked which is not a big deal. They will also fit a GTO and G8 kit as well.

Sent him a PM a few days ago as I saw the same post. These will help someone out Im sure sooner or later.
