Have you guys ever installed a TT kit? We did my own with it in-car and it is definitely easier off the car. You aren't going to damage turbos setting the motor back in. It should have no problems fitting in. Just have to bolt up the compressor ducts (in and out) and the cat deletes and it's ready to go. There are some nuts and bolts that are extremely (and I mean extremely) difficult to torque down with it in the car. 
Pulling a motor doesn't take that long in comparison for a shop.

I spoke to the installer of this kit and he told me that he will have pictures and a full review once the car has been tested and everthing is working properly. The good thing is that i can go see the whole process since i live very close to Z car.

Damn, I've been away from this forum quite too long! I'm gonna have to stop by Zcar Garage and see this beast in the making. A few more months and I shall have my equity loan and put some of it towards my own turbo kit....hehehehe.

I would have to agree. We're doing a kit on our car right now and its so much easier with the motor out. I help with some parts of the install and I can imagine how painful the install would be with the motor still in the car. We should be finished by tomorrow night. I'll get to drive it for a couple days before Sema. Tune it when I get back.

Being in IL, I understand you guys are the closest APS dealer to me in Ohio. What install time are you expecting, once you're familiar with the kit?

Does anyone know how the APS turbo kit would work on an 05 Track? Being that the new engine is different.

Ok thanks guys for the information regarding the updated engine specs for the 05 model Z.
APS will take delivery of a new 05 Track model Z car for engineering and evaluation at the end of Feb, APS tech staff should have the APS TT system installed and tested by the end of March.
I'll give you guys an update on what APS engineers find out during the install and field testing, with a little luck no changes will be required for the APS TT system other than some computer tuning maps, will let you know soon.
Thanks
