) so it wasn't a rush to get my car back. also, i don't run high boost all the time. i usually run on the 385whp 8psi map. when i'm feeling froggy i'll mix 3 gallons of 100 to the tank and switch to the 420whp 9.5psi map. and when i hit the track, i'll put some of that sweet smelling c-16 and go for the 440whp map
will the motor blow? maybe. i knew that force inducting a n/a car. i got plans on building the motor because no matter what the hp, theres a chance your motor can blow. my two centabos.

I wanted to add this from the other thread:

The install on the twins is SIGNIFICANTLY more complex and time consuming. The single should be installed EASILY in 10+ hrs less time than the twins. An example of something fairly time consuming on the twins that the single does not have are a lot of studs that need to be set in the engine block as well as the turbo housings. Also just consider mounting up two turbos in limited space vs one.
As far as discontinuing the kits, well, I hope you all do realize that at somepoint every kit APS or any other manufacturer puts out there will be discontinued. That said, I feel APS is trying to peak some interest in this somewhat overlooked setup. They might lure those on the fence into buying the kit by making it a bit more attractive.
For this price, the setup cannot be touched by anything out there. Bang for the buck exceeds any other offering APS has or any that of any other manufacturer IMHO.
