of course you would think that turbonetics is the best kit, both you and miaplayer have one. it is a very good kit, i wish i had one! lol but speaking objectivly based on design, if you look at both the aps has a much better design as far as heat transfer is concerned. as for parts you dont need. call me nuts but im pretty sure that david at aps dident just sit down and throw a bunch of random sheit together to form a turbo kit, filled with a bunch of useless stuff so aps could jack up the price. lol im done..

 

there they are...

 

Heat transfer where? With the turbo right next to the tranny and the transient heat from the turbo having no where to go thanks to the "debris" shield you are superheating the second highest failing part on the 350z next to the rods: The transmission.

 

correct me if i am wrong, but it appears the turbine sits right where the stock cat would... name me something hotter than a ceramic catalyctic converter... anyway this is a lame argument in the first place buy what you want, you cant lose with either.

 

A turbo with nothing keeping in the heat from the turbine housing. I gurantee the cat heat shield helps out a lot. Operating temp on the hotside of the turbo is easily over 700 degrees F. But you are correct. Either are good kits.

 

Yeah cat has heat shielding plates.

Regardless I don't say what is better than what. That would just be silly since it is opinion based.

 

You sure are harsh for someone who was in the APS ST GB.

 

i just like were the turbo in place in the turbonetics becouse every turbokit is placed under the car so u dont see what u pay for at least that goes for me

 

APS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

APS is also testing a 350z roadsters with an 5AT tranny. SONER OR LATER YOU WILL NEED TO UPGRADE THE 5AT it does not matter what force induction you will choose.
