My car is currently at GTmotorsports getting the APS TT installed but they seem to have run into a a little problem. Sam told me that the new 06 have a different rack and pinoin steering column and therefore the aps tt wont fit without some modification. Has anyone installed a aps tt on a 06? if so what type of modification did you do to make if fit?I know that Sam will figure something out but i just would like to see my options.Thanks in advance..

 

i know that the control arms are different. i would juist fab up some pipe and be done with it. not to many people have turbo the 06 yet. good luck.

 

I have a rev-up 05...no problems with the installation...everything fits...

 

this would be more than fabbing up new piping. Where the stearing nuckle is, is very close to the turbo, not the piping.

 

Sell the APS TT and buy a Greddy TT and it will fit fine.


















































just kidding just kidding.

 

I think ZIVMAN is right . The steering knuckle is what Sam said was interfering. I know i saw a thread of someone who had a fix. I hope he can chime in here.

 

The steering rack is a little different so the knuckle sits higher and hits the turbo when turning even after modifying it like the instructions say. Try lifting that side of the engine slightly by installing some spacers at the engine mounts.

 

damn that sucks hope you get it figur out. You just couldnt wait lol.... im just going to wait so i dont have to pay all the extra cash for the fab. on top of the kit price.

 

Beware of FI temptation hahaha.

 

sucks to be APS... their kit only fits 3 years of production cars. Eh, I bet a custom steering shaft U-Joint will fix it... they could machine one up no problem. Time to invest in a broaching machine...

 

BTW can you get pics of the problem so that we can help suggest a solution??

 

Eh, just notch out the turbine, problem fixed.

 

Here you can see a little of it. The steering knuckle is slightly higher so even after shaving some of it it will still hit the turbo when you try to turn the steering column.

 

Why can't you just flip the u-joint around 180 degrees?

 

Didn't work.

 

Damn, I thought I was smart there for a sec...

 

Westpak so the washers did the job? I really appreciate everyones input. Im getting so anxious.

 

yes

 

Sweetttttt.my only concern now would be that i have the 5/16 plenum spacer. i wonder if by adding washers to the motor mount,how much will it affect the clearance for strut bar.

 

APS plenum cleared but also had APS strutbar
