Yeah I know. Upgrading the fuel system and actuators is suppose to fix that. Just making sure I can get the upgrade needed before installing the APS TT kit.

This APS big power upgrade package will be available through authorised APS dealers and if all goes to plan this package will be produced in Aug 05, should be available in the US in September 05.

With ease, this new fuel system will have monster fuel supply, I will be able to post a good deal of information over the coming weeks, I can't say more for now though I can promise you will be very impressed when the products finally released.

Sure does and there are pics on the APS web site right now at http://www.airpowersystems.com.au/35...num/plenum.htm

Thanks

What exhaust would be best for the APS single turbo kit? I currently have the stillen dual exhaust so I'm sure that would have to go. Does anyone know what exhaust they had on the car on their website?

I'd have other concerns too.

1. APS is based on the other side of the globe. If you ever had a part fail, this part probably isn't going to be an "in stock" item at your local tuners shop. With customs and shipping there could be a lot of down time while you wait for your part to get to you.

2. If you ever had a problem with an installer, it would be difficult to "work through" the situation with the manufacturer of the kit when they're on the other side of the globe.

Have you ever tried to order a part from Japan? It takes FOREVER and then if there's a problem...

It is nice to deal with companies who have headquarters and manufacturing facilities in the good old US of A. Just something that I've personally been thinking about lately and thought I'd share...

aps is on top of things more than you might think - it definitely wouldn't be a problem for them to use a specific part out of an instock kit and replace it with a new part from APS (see it done like that all the time)

all my faith is in aps - I'll definitely be a customer in a few (ok, maybe six ) months...

An APS developed TD 2.5 inch exhaust system - designed especially for the the single turbo system.

Yeah, as long as you place an order for $10K at the same time... WHAT?
