Rob, what were costs looking like for the Turbonetics 1.5 setup? Man..should I do it or not..such a tough choice financially.

ravi

 

Final price should be set in the next week or two... it shouldn't be much more then the Stage 1 kit.

 

Almost a month later:

Any updates on the price yet?

 

+1..

 

APS ST is way better........

 

If you have an authorized APS dealer/installer in the area and are looking for a good kit that's complete out of the box you won't regret the APS single. If you don't have an authorized APS dealer/installer nearby or are looking for a more flexible setup, go with the Turbonetics setup Mia described. More imporant than the kit you choose is who you get to install and tune it.

 

^very informative

 

does anyone hae a link to aps cert. tuners?

 

No I'm sorry there are no price updates yet. Turbonetics is still in testing with the fuel return setup. I can't get a price yet as they don't yet know if they will need to change anything from the fuel return kit as this will affect pricing. When R&D is finished I should have a good idea of price.

 

Krank, I'm from the OKC area as well, and from the small amount of research I have done, it seems that the with the APS system, the way to go is to have an APS dealer install the system for you. From APS website, there are no dealers here in OK and only a few in Texas. Unfortunately, it looks like south Texas (Austin) would be the closest, as the 2 in Dallas service only WRX's.

If anyone wants to correct me here, feel free too.

 

if you have the ***** to do the install yourself, get the TN kit.

if yer gonna wuss out and pay another couple grand for an install, eh, I'd still go TN over APS.

Don't really see benefits over the APS if you have to have it installed by a dealer for warranty AND have it tuned before it's safe to drive.

the TN reflash has proven over and over to be a safe reliable management option

 

oh my

 

There is no dealer listed in Oklahoma...it looks like the closest would be texas? The base maps provided by APS are also a "safe reliable management option."

 

Just when we thought APSackrider was gone..........

 

Oh, LMAO, was that a good one

 

You are correct. And if I were making the drive to south Texas, I would take the car a little extra farther to SGP in Houston rather than Austin. I know it's farther, but I think it would be worth it.

I'm in the Dallas area, and the Austin shop is the closest authorized APS dealer for myself...but I will be taking my car to SGP in Houston unless Jotech in Garland, TX decides to become an APS dealer w/in the next couple of weeks...

 

Jotech will not be becoming a APS dealer (again) SINCE PETER screwed them over. There are 2 UNI-chip tuners in dallas, grubs infiniti, and forced induction systems in mckinney, texas, but i havent seen that much from them, FIS made about 400@9.5psi on my buddies ST aps kit

 

Yes, there are two APS tuners in Dallas...but neither of them are 350Z tuners. You would think Grubs could tune my car though, huh???

I talked to Kenny Tran on Saturday, and he was saying that he "might" become and APS dealer w/in the next few weeks. It's the cost + seminars + 2 days of work that he'd be missing. There is a lot of out of pocket cost & inconvenience to it. Now if APS came out to him, it would be much easier for Jotech to jump on board.

If Jotech doesn't become an APS dealer, I completely understand.

 

whatever FI kit I get I'm installing myself with my brother. He has a dodge stratus with a vortech kit on it with a whole motor build that he did with my dad and has over 500 fwhp.

 

well if that's the case, you could kiss the APS warranty goodbye if you buy that kit
