If you live in Bahrain, does that make you rich? It seems like that's a normal stereotype for you dudes. If you are rich, go with a built engine and an APS TT and a built tranny. Then make a video of your car and post the video on here. See you then.

I wish I had gone with Turbonetics instead of APS ST. Too many support issues.

What is your price range?

If the price doesn't matter, I would go with...
APS twin turbo kit - tuner version
TurboXS UTEC engine management system or a standalone (would need to know your price range)
AAM fuel system
RC Engineering 550cc fuel injectors
Walbro 255lph fuel pump
Quaife LSD
ATS twin-plate clutch and flywheel
APS Exhaust
APS Test Pipes

285/295/305-wide rear tires

Let me know if you need anymore information or when you are ready to order.

Where/when did you ever get the impression that I had a "blown APS TT"?

There are no APS or UniChip dealers in Florida. I may have a bad harness and trying to get support from APS is impossible. They simply don't seem to care.

If you want the best BANG for the buck.. Turbonetics is the way to go... you can easily reach 400 rwhp with the EU and propper tuning. Also this is the only kit where you can fit headers on.. keeps stock manifold! And great customer support! And if you want it done right... Sharif @ Fordged Internals/Cp-racing is the person to talk to!

Did you purchase and install it from an authorized APS dealer/Installer?

I got the kit from www.xxtuning.com. There are no APS/UniChip shops in Florida or most states. It appears I have a bad harness and it has taken several weeks to diagnose and replace. All calls and emails to APS have gone unanswered. *** them!!!

Please don't misunderstand. Mike from xxtuning.com has been very helpful but APS is not.
