I asked Peter from APS and I never got a clear cut answer. He told me he would report back with the information within a few days, and that was 2 months ago.
I have no idea where I'm going to get them from, I am hoping that the shop that is going to tune my car will have something in mind...

Yeah Tourqefreaks is local to me... they are pretty happy about being able to get new boost actuators for the Garret turbos...
GAR-16964 10 PSI Actuators 2@86.00=172.00...
I hope they don't get pissed I posted the part # and $... If they do... my name is Bob.
Oh but to keep this on topic. I would have purchased a tuner version of the APS kit. I would have gone with my own fuel system, changed the bost actuators from the get go, and gone with something other then unichip for engine management. (I couldn't wait for the AEM.)
I know Peter is in love with it, but none of the shops I'm comfortable with will touch it. Matrix/Tourque Freaks.
It's a PITA.

James,
Do you think it is a good idea for people who are happy with 500 hp and lower to have the GT25 turbo (instead of GT28). So we would get even better respond at lower RPM and also get the full boost faster. I belive there are a lot of people for this.

Anyone have a picture of what they look like? Another company makes a set of billet AL CNC machined units that are super-bling, but they are twice the price.

Very interesting.

I could have sworn Peter said GT25/35R a few months ago. I am getting a little older now.

I would say the GT25/35R is the right turbo size for TT for people who are happy with 400 to 500 hp. Actually, with 450 hp & up, this will alaready be a fast car and we should concern more about traction than more HP.

I hope this comes to light!
