But after reading, you haven't decided. But since you were considering, I thought you would know what you are buying.

No problem

I think over 600 wheel is a little to much for a DD, plus i would have to have some head work done. And if i didnt go over 600whp with a TT i would find it pointless going TT. But with the ST i can still get the headwork and spray a little more IF i needed.
I figure the extra 2 grand+ i save from doing the install my self and going with a ST i can invest toward Pistons and rods.

Thats just me.

But thanks for letting me know about the APS fitting..

trust me DO NOT GET THE APS SINGLE TURBO KIT. there are multiple issues with that kit ESPECIALLY if you install it yourself. i had my kit on my car for almost 2 years and it never ran 100%. i was always fixing things and tweaking it. i even replaced several parts. youve got oil leaks, leaking seals, smoking, losing boost, etc etc.

and you cannot just replace it with a bigger turbo, you cant even put a true GT35R on it, the compressor housing that comes with the kit is way smaller so it will fit. the turbo sits about half a cm from the frame rail and other parts of the car. there is no way in hell the kit is capable of 500hp at the wheels. several have tried, all have failed.

trust me its not worth it, even for that price.

i was about to quote this man's posts from way way back.

the ST has had problems with the internal wastegate/actuators. not saying everyone with the ST did, but there has been a reported amount of people with it. not to mention, with the APS ST, please be aware of the oil scavenge pump as some failed and had smoking issues. there's an external wastegate option for the kit (or was it custom?) regardless, i think turbonetics is the only ST to go in my opinion. otherwise, if you are serious about building a FI monster, go twins... it's worth the investment.

Stay away for the APS ST. The Turbo sits way too low. The oil scavenge pump issue is a bitch. The seals on the Turbo leak. It has good power but stay away, unless you like having your car in the shop.

Are those with the Greddy TT kits having any issues? Oil leaks etc? How reliable is this kit for a DD? How many miles would you expect to get out of the engine with a good tune and approx. 380-400 whp?

Would an oil scavenge canister help or a better aftermarket pump?

the oil scavenge reservoir would be a start, and MOCAL makes a nice pump that might be better, but there really isnt any room to add a reservoir.
