very nice setup, ALOT of parts! One thing I really liked was the size of the turbos, they seemed smallish to me, which will hopefully translate into excellent throttle response and 700rwhp(not mine)

it was a GTO kit, very complete, but very involved....the good thing is there are two going in minutes from me so I will have first hand experience with this paticular setup.
So far, I have not ridden in or driven a turbo vehicle I could live with day in day out. I am extremely interested to see how it drives

I have installed a few on G35 coupes and some Vettes and they are by far the nicest and most complete forced induction kit i have ever seen. Everything about the APS kits are amazing.

If it was a Stage 2 kit, from my understanding, then it will be a very nice compliment to the GTO croud trying to push the envelope.

From what I've seen... APS stuff is top notch... on an OEM level.

Too bad they don't have a truck over their right now...

I think it was one step up from the base kit

I had the first US kit from APS on my GTO with larger (Vette) turbos. It had no lag with an auto trans and was an awesome kit.

sweet, I think I was told they were Mitsubishi turbos, does that sound about right?

I tuned an APS Corvette a few weeks ago.It was one of the best kit's I've seen. Very complete and fit very good.
