If both kits were priced at the same, I think it would be a tough choice to make. But since TN is cheaper and good enough for stock, that's what I opted for.

As a previous APS ST guy...my car put down 380whp and 401 lb/ft. That was before the addition of the plenum. I never had an issue holding boost to redline either...

I still think the APS is the better or more complete kit of the two but at the same time I don't care for either of the ST setups anymore....

For what it's worth, a kit can only be as good as the customer service of the company that makes it....
You continue...

I agree with Oleg... Turbonetics has the hands down best Customer setup!
But also the people who had overboosting problems where not using the kit like it should be use.. dual exhaust and had to be moddifed. But out of the box used the way TN requests TN is better, more power and better setup.

Yeah, I can see how the APS experience would ruin the joy of a single-turbo setup. ....(ok, I'm really just being an arrogant @$$ here, but that's kinda the point of the thread....talkin' the smack-down!).

Seriously though, the Tnetics kit has its' quirks too. I won't go into it, but none of us has a perfect setup.
