Wise choice!!! Clocked 1200 miles thus far and it's a BLAST to drive, I'm very pleased with the power & performance of the APS system...no lag, the twins spool on demand with ungodly TQ. If your planning on going with larger than stock cid, it's wise to upgrade the actuators to maintain a steady boost at upper rpm range as I am currently doing this week. As for issues, NONE, no occasional check engine light, no reduce engine power, temps stay normal..all the issues I had with my previous ProCharger setup is a thing of the past.

Also, I must add that Peter @ APS has been very helpful with my needs, and quick to responsd to my messages...top notch customer service!!!

Feel free to send me a PM, if any questions or concerns with the APS system.

Good luck and happy boosting!

Sure thing! The car was at LAPD today, the upgraded actuators I ordered need some fabbing to make it work (certainly not a direct replacement) and will require the removal of both turbos, so I plan to re-schedule that next week as the car goes to the body shop this week. Anyways, I'll post it or send you a PM with the results.

Not many miles and only about 2 months of having the APS twin turbos. No problems whatsoever and just about Richard (brabus2) covered it. I did a trip to Boca, which was a 3 hour drive and it was smooth and great both ways.

Uncle George...I'm very happy to hear about the new gauges, I look forward to seeing them at the GTG.....!

I was planning on stopping by at LAPD, had I known you were buying lunch I certainly would have made the effort to be there....and suggest that the boyz close shop for a few hrs and we all head to Outback Steakhouse...

You must have been looking at the dyno graph upside down...

Hey Dark,

You did your install as I'm looking for someone in FLA to do mine? Car looks great.

Thank,

John

Next Level Performance in Altamonte Springs did the install. Geoff is the guy to talk to, very knowledgable and helpful.

I just did a round trip to Houston this past weekend. 14 hours trip to Houston and no problems at all, nice cruise and great MPG (I believe up to 28). Another 14 hrs back and again no problems whatsoever. About 2000 miles in 5 days and through cold, rain, sunshine, wind.

...Geoff at NLP is top notch! He's taken time from his busy schedule to response to my many PMs, sent pictures of detail installs that were critical during my actuator install...just 1st class service.

Martin, sounds like you gave the TWINS a nice workout.
