APS Twin Turbo on GS or Z06?
Guys,
Does anyone have an APS TT setup on their C6 GS or Z06 and can tell me if the pid filters come down to a point where I can feed air in from where the existing lights are on the bottom of the front spoiler?
As in pop those lights out, and make a Air Duct that pushes right into the end of the pod?
Also, are the wastegates electronically adjustable, so I can have an in-car boost controller?

Several of those with the APS kit have an in-car boost controller.

Cool, thanks for getting back to me on that.
Just checked with APS in Aussie, and they're guys in the US, and they don't do this kit anymore...as I'm not yet in the U.S, its not a major, but are there similar stealth turbo systems, that are also quality, available for the C6?
I can likely have one made up for me, but I hear there's all sorts of official emissions testing etc it would have to go through if I wanted to use it on the street.

I just had my Z06 shipped back to Next Level Performance in Florida to have a Warhawk engine build and turn up the boost on my 2008 Z06 APS TT, going for 1100 RWHP or more, I am at 900 RWHP now with an AMS 1000 Boost controller. While I was down there they told me they had purchased the remaining APS C6 and Z06 TT kits from APS and I saw they had about 25 boxes stacked on their shelves. Good Luck.
Dallas Performance purchased the last APS kits a few months back and are available for in house installs only.

That's not true from what I have been told/read.

There is still quite a few of the non Z06 kits floating around but I had no interest in that system.

That's alot of kits!!!!! Is it me or has anyone else wondered if APS is not building kits for vette anymore why do they still sponsor this site and why is the vette still on their website as if they are still in production?? Maybe this has been answered and I missed it. I still can't understand why they stopped making the z06 kit after they pretty much perfected it with those bada$$ inlets.

I spoke to the guys in Australia ( APS themselves ), and they stopped the kits for the US market when the economy bombed.
They still have the kit on the site, for those who need spare parts, but thats about it.
Ideally, they might have enough spare parts to warrant them selling a complete parts kit?
I guess if there was enough interest, and confirmed payers they might also make some more.
The guys at Dallas now have one kit left after me posting about it, and maybe thats gone too, so its down to whats left at NLP I assume.
Id love a kit; there's a few things I would change about it to make it just right.....just awesome.

All I can say is...do it if you're thinking about it. I don't know about NLP, but Dallas Performance did a great job on my install.

Rumor going around locally here is that AMS is developing a turbo kit for the C6. They recently just hired some well known tuners (for corvettes) and are now branching out from imports to vettes. They are probably the biggest EvoX, STI, GTR tuner in the nation.

I know what you mean by changing some things in the kit, I was having issues with it running hot in the summer months, then sent the car to NLP for their shrouding kit and extra cooling kit that they came up with for the APS Corvettes. No more issues with it running hot.
Tony Pittman, great looking car, and Dallas Performance did a great job on your install. How do you like the Akrapovic?
