good luck with the kit. with almost 390whp (dynapack) and 400trq, i love it. but being the horsepower junkie that i am, i'm going utec and cams with the kit. and if i wanted 600 plus horsies out of this kit, i would have bought a tt. both kits are good street kits. having grd close helps.

Not anymore... TN raised their price a month ago.. Dealers are forced to sell them at around $5000.

I'm in the middle of the APS ST install as I write this... You made a good choice. My mechanic worked in Japan's top tuning shop for 15years.. and he is pretty impressed with the APS ST. He even said the quality of the parts are as good as JDM parts. Enough said.

I got mine brand new for $4200~ Hell of a deal!!!

JDM Those parts aren't any better. Quit being a nutthanger. APS has top quality parts. Nough said. Congrats STL Lightning, you'll love the car as a daily driver. I'm selling my built TT G35 and putting a new CHP 347 stroker longblock and Vortech T trim in my 95 Mustang. I just want to go fast for cheap. It's purely a financial thing. I love the G35. Plus I'm going into the military. Good luck with the project.

yeah but you cant say Turbonetics doesnt have quality parts....they have been around for years developing top notch Turbo kits for cars.



Both APS and TN have top quality performance parts and make awesome kits......

Hey guys, this post was in no way meant to start a APS vs TN debate. My decision is more about getting a quality install and tune than trying to find the small differences between the kits. In my opinion, both kits are top notch and would have made my proud to own either of them.

For me, its not a religious experience. I'm buying the kit that best fits my requirements. It could have been any kit by any company. If the Turbonetics 1.5 was out right now, it would have been a coin flip.
