That's the question. What do you prefer APS TT or Greddy TT?

The APS kit is about $1500+ more than the Greddy, so it's not exactly and apples-to-apples comparison. Seems like if you're cost-conscious and don't plan to boost above the stock 5.5. psi of the Greddy kit then that's the way to go. If you're going to boost to 8+ psi anyway, you might was well spring for the APS kit because the incremental cost of a safe Greddy kit @ 8psi is not insignificant.

IMO.

APS - It's one quality kit and worst the extra cost, why, intercooler designed for the car (no changes to the front bumper) plus equal lenght piping, ball bearing Garrett turbo's big enought for 700hp, fuel & ignition management, fuel system to cope with 500 rwhp. I've seen both kits and in IMO the APS win hands down. My advise wait an see both before you decide.

I dont think that anyone here can answer your questions without making assumptions.

I will say that the APS kits looks like it might be a little cleaner and possibly better engineered.

At the same time, my greddy kit has 1800 miles now of pure abuse without one single problem and the car drives excellent and I feel the response of the turbos is perfect, not too soon not too late.

So... no problems yet with the greddy kit, just a ***** to install and it doesnt seem like everything is as easy as it should be to line it all up... but it works perfectly and reliably... from experienced owners on this board.

The APS kit looks like its gonna be ****in awesome tho! Who cares about $1500 bucks difference... this is not a cheap car and if that $1500 makes so much difference to you, its probably not a good idea to void your warrenty on your brand new car and get so deep into a project with it.... either of them are gonna cost you more than $1500 extra with supporting mods, such as a clutch and flywheel, and other stuff your gonna wanna do, maybe a diff cooler, maybe a front mount oil cooler, whatever you may decide on.

I have had 2 greddy kits in the past-but they were on Hondas! The kits were nice. Now i have a Z to me the APS kit is of higher quality. My vote goes with APS.

Comparing the Greddy to the APS is like comparing a Honda to a BENZ
APS without a blink of an eye..400 hp out of the box.

The cost difference if not as much as people may initialy think.

compare the two kits when you run equal power levels.

the greddy kit to run 400 whp
profec e-01 495 + cost of labor and timing harness

BOV 200-250 + labor

Upgraded fuel system 400-500? + labor

Cost of greddy kit with intercooler 5600-5800 (cheapest ive seen lately) + labor to install and must remove bumper bar and relocate air bag sensors

after spending the extra money on the greddy kit to run @ the same powerlevels that the APS does you still dont get

Cast high capacity oil pan with cooling fins.

Ball bearing turbos which are both oil and water cooled and will outperform standard journal bearing turbos.

Intercooler that is specifically designed to fit the 350z with equal length plumbing and no removal of the bumper bar.

Fuel injectors that will support 12 psi boost which do not require modification of the factory injector looms.

Cost of aps kit 7000-8000? Final price still unknown


I believe the greddy is a good kit as is most of their products in this case i believe the Aps is simply a better kit.

For any company to release a kit that was not clearly better than the current offerings as far as turbo kits for the 350Z are concerned this would not make any buisness sense.
