I want to know details!!!
distibutor?
price?
installation hours and cost?
dyno graph?

I loved the way this system sounded when APS posted a video with a black G35 with the ST kit.

I wouldn't want to run the kit with the intercooler blocked like that.
But, I'm looking foreward to what numbers you get. And, please don't tell me you're on a Dynopack. Folks here are looking for something comparable, meaning Dynojet numbers.

What happened to the rock shield that APS promised with the kit? I haven't seen it in any of the pics. Did you install it after you took the pic?

I cant really tell from the pics but how low is that turbo to the ground? would someone have to worry about going through a bad rainstorm with this kit?

the kit took me about a week to install, only working about 3-4 hours a day. i bought it from GRD in the GB. i plan on going to the dyno today(dynojet). i didnt notice any changes with my vortech between the stock bumper and the TS one, so that isnt a big deal, i might fabricate some custom vents for it later. i did put the rock shield on later, here are some pics, my downpipe is about 3 inches off the ground, but my car is lowered on the tein basic coilovers pretty low.

Water won't hurt the turbo......unless it's RED hot and all of a sudden you drive into a lake and keep the turbo submerged. Kind of like taking a glass pan out of the oven and then putting in into a bucket of cold water....

It says your have the APS plenum in your signature. You dont' really have it yet right? Because it loooks a bit too big to fit underneath the engine cover. Does this kit get rid of the factory cats? Does it get rid of headers too?

just curious - what exhaust are you running?

I'm going ST this winter (haven't decided what kit yet - really like the intercooler solution to the T-netics, but the APS still feels more "complete") and I haven't decided what route I'm going to take with the exhaust - I'll probably just sell my plenum, cats and exhaust and use that money to buy a new one...
