APS has more of a complete package mentality so IMO it doesn't make business or logical sense for them to sell one part for you to "modify" your turbo kit when they'll have a full package available in the near future.

I'm guessing besides dual throttle body capability, 12 injector capability, full fuel return system, dual pumps, etc. the gigantor package will also of course include some sort of upgrade for the turbos. IMO, anyone wanting to go crazy should just wait for this package to come out rather then hack up their "stock" APS kit.

The "big fuel" upgrade is only a single TB , the gigantor provides two.

xxlbeerz-
Where were you when I had my VISA card out?:-) I'm already out of pocket for the fuel system upgrade, higher pressure actuators, and god knows what else. Any advice on my APS vs. Koyo radiator clearance issue? The fan is making contact with the intercooler pipe. Read any posts about this?

The car featured in D-Sport is Darren's car from Orange County. We've talked a lot on the phone. He chose the 10.5:1 to maintain streetability and emmissions, shoudl he chose to sell the car later, sans turbo.

Also, he only runs 100 octane fuel, in which case, 10.5:1 is a great choice, and will deliver more power at a given boost level.

So where does he normally get the 100 octane fuel? How much does it cost per gallon?

Some of the 76 stations in CA have 100 octane fuel. Usually $5.49 a gallon or so.

In other states, 100 octane is more plentiful, and about $4.50/gallon.

Last time I was there 100 octane was 5.70 a gallon.

Sounds like there will be at least two packages:

a) the Big fuel upgrade (based upon the tall boy plenum)

b) the Gigantor (based upon a new "uber" plenum). This may be offered in single and/or dual TB configurations. My assumption is that this setup will uprade the fuel delivery well beyond that of a). With the base snails, this upgrade would be pointless. It's targeted at major Mass air flow and rwhp and bigger snails.

Ideally you wanna use a nozzle that atomizes very well and a pump good for at least 100psi. It's good if the nozzle can be removed without needing to remove the intake tube (ie threaded in from the outside). Make inspection and tuning easier.

Theres many sources, Aquamist 2s is the Caddie of WI IMO, Snow performance has something etc etc. If you search for water injection on Google or Yahoo you'll find quite a few.

If you do , make sure you add a disclaimer. It can't make up for bad tuning.

Exactly, we use that disclaimer for most of the products we sell.
