APS TT Install So INTENSE Racing was offering a promotion for an APS TT kit for $100 on the other board Promotion Thread and guess who the lucky winner is 
:woohoo::woohoo:.
I Started the build the build the friday afternoon, made some headway. So far i removed the front fascia/bumper, radiator support panel, and put in the new windhshield washer assembly and a few other things. I would have done more but some screws/inserts in the bumper beam gave me a hard time, ill deal with that tommorrow. I also tried doing the new ecm learn but i must have screwed it up(10minutes, cycle off and repeat three times;no luck.) If anyone knows the procedure it would be great if you could post it or pm me.

Yesterday the time i spent on the project today wasn't to productive, spent most of the day screwing around with getting the welder powered up. All i got done today besides that was the Heater Hose Mod. As well as the new injectors 60lb injectors, that went pretty smooth except that two o-rings got stuck in the fuel rail and of course it was it the back, had to use paper clip and a mirror to pop them out
it was just on of those days, hopefully today will be better

AHHHHH welcome to the turbo club. Hope you enjoy spending time in the garage!!! Ha J/K
At least one headache of leaking manifolds won't be there because the turbos look like they are on the pipes after the manifolds.
Gool luck man!

Today was a good day, got alot of stuff done! Installed the intercooler to the bumper beam, and mounted headlight assembly back on the car. I also put the wiring harness back on the radiator support, and the winshield washer pump extension, dropped the cats. But most importantly assembled most of the turbos pieces(fittings, flex adaptors, wastegates)

Almost done! Installed both turbos and installed the water/coolant lines from the turbos to the engine block. I had a few road blocks today. The first one was where the turbos and magnaflow catback flanges met. The turbo flange was straight and the catback flange was ****ed at a 30degree angle. So i had to sawzall the flanges off the catback exhaust, find the stock exhaust which had a rotatable flange. Then go to an exhasut shop and have him fab a small piece of pipe, needless to say PITA. The next one was the damn ECM learn, i must be an idiot because i tried three times and cant figure it out!

Done!
Finished up the install a few hours ago, to bad its all rainy and shitty out so i can't have to much fun. If i had to guess i would say that it took me close to 30 hours to do the install, plus running around and all that other bs that goes with any project
Thanks to INTENSE-Racing

To the OP:
Nice install and great choice of mods.
APS does make a good product.
BUT, APS is run by a well documented crook and I wouldn't suggest anyone give them their money.
If you don't believe me, research "Dave Inall" with LS1tch members and on the web.
If you get to talk to APS in AUSTRALIA, maybe you can ask them to return the $100,000 in $1,000 deposits stolen from fellow AMERICAN forum members.
BUYER BEWARE !!!!
If I NEEDED to have a TT, I'd contact George at Turbo Technologies.

Holden front bumper is NICE.
Front mount twin turbos are the most efficient...but also the most expensive and complicated. I think the new TVS blowers have bridged the gap between the turbos and supercharger.

Be careful.
I'm sure you know, it's a totally different experience getting a bigger car back in line. I remember the 1st time I got a 4,000lb car sideways at speed after driving blown 5.0's, Camaros, and Vettes. BIG difference.
Front mounts are NO joke. I'm REALLY looking forward to dynos and timeslips for your car.

It's true and common knowledge because it was discussed at length on the Corvette Forum with APS.
I'm sure they wish people didn't know.
I'm know a LOT of people remember ole' Dave and will be shocked he is still trying to do business in the states after taking off with all that money.
But, it's our responsibility to remember and watchdog for the rest of the community.

Took the car to SlOWHAWK Performance, i got lazy and used stock spark plugs, so it was pulling timing/misfiring, so i have to replace them and go see him again but here are the numbers. Don thinks it should be close to 480hp and above 500tq
