Default which one?

i am considering going fi and i was wondering which would be better?

A Procharger kit

Or

The APS twin turbo kit

i have an 04 gto cai,headers,exaust...the normal upgrades

anyways which would put out better power but still have that daily driver reliability?

and does anyone know the pricing on the aps kit?

Better? The APS hands down. It's like $9 grand though shipped from down under. You would also have to loose your headers with the APS kit since it comes with it's own exhaust manifolds.

With either kit you will loose your CAI as well.

I have the Procharger kit and it is absolutly great around town, once the rpm's come up look out.

Which do you think would be easier to install?
also,i was leaning more towards the procharger because of the power right off the line

did you install your kit or did you have a shop install it?

Most power = APS. Most money = APS. You decide how fast and how much money you're going to spend.

I'd go procharger. No turbo lag, less parts that would have to be removed.(headers)

APS would make more power IMO. Of course it also costs the most. You'll also want to think about upgrading your fuel system IMO.

The APS kit comes with a new fuel system. It is VERY complete.

I installed my Procharger myself. In fact I am installing one for a friends '04 GTO this weekend. You will need a very good selection of hand and power tools to install a procharger. I have a near fully equiped garage shop, it's 20' x 20' but you cannot get a car inside it since it's full of tools.

If money is no object, the APS system. Otherwise, D1SC it.
