Make sure you cover all your brake lines also...
I am sure if you run over a bed something might happen. Have you searched the Vette, rustangs, cam, forums with evidence of the lines "popping" off or getting torn off? Make a skid plate...
I think some people are concerned that there might be a better kit on the block soon
Its easy to bash product that is not fully released yet. Lets wait for the release then start saying sorry

Your fellow APS owners are too. If you haven't figured it out yet this board doesn't accept much without data to back it up. A guesstimated 115-120+ trap with a guesstimated 400 WHP and your approximation of how well he can keep up with your car are pointless and just throws everyone into a frenzy. I'm not hating, I'm asking you to stop posting mis-information about something you obviously have no true data about. Unless you designed the kit and/or have some superior knowledge of turbocharger and turbo systems your claims about it are pointless for the reasons mentioned above. The hatred FROM EVERYONE including the Greddy, APS, Turbonetics, and every other kit owners on this thread will stop when we get hard facts and not half @ss opinions.

for the price that is being talked the turbo has to be small..may not be ball bearing too(me just guessing so is all infromation on the kit anyways), and will be even more limited on power than the TN kit probably...

Its easy to bash product that is not fully released yet. Lets wait for the release then start saying sorry When this kit makes 406whp on 6lbs of boost on a stock VQ35 with pump gas on an independant dyno jet...then and only then will I say "sorry". I don't see that happening..so I doubt there is going to be much apologizing going on.
I for one, really hope the STS kit is as good as they claim, I'm trying to deside on a kit and STS does seem easier to maintain.
Everyone should be happy if this kit is as good as they claim, even if you own another brand, work for another brand, or get freebies from another brand if you post lots of good things about them. It just betters the Z/G community when good products come out for us.
A few people will look stupid for posting if this kit turns out to be as good as I hope. Just save some bandwidth and wait for the info from STS, if the kit sucks you'll still be able to bash it then, there's no deadline.
