This is a reply to my post in antother thread and I wanted to make sure everyone saw it.

The install on the twins is SIGNIFICANTLY more complex and time consuming. The single should be installed EASILY in 10+ hrs less time than the twins. An example of something fairly time consuming on the twins that the single does not have are a lot of studs that need to be set in the engine block as well as the turbo housings. Also just consider mounting up two turbos in limited space vs one.
As far as discontinuing the kits, well, I hope you all do realize that at somepoint every kit APS or any other manufacturer puts out there will be discontinued. That said, I feel APS is trying to peak some interest in this somewhat overlooked setup. They might lure those on the fence into buying the kit by making it a bit more attractive.
For this price, the setup cannot be touched by anything out there. Bang for the buck exceeds any other offering APS has or any that of any other manufacturer IMHO.

Not without their software. call car version 2 (www.carv2.com) if you want more info on unichip tuning. They are authorized aps installers and unichip tuners.
