Here you go... https://my350z.com/forum/questionable-posts/329465-powerlab-gt35r-single-turbo-kit-release.html

or you can search Powerlab, and a bunch of threads should show up.

Both have downfalls. Many TN kits overboost even with the "fix". Many kits smoke. Good CS though.

APS kits have low ground clearance, and have issues holding boost to redline, I have yet to see one make 500whp.

Having owned a TN Id say pass on it. Do a TT kit that is tried and proven over either of these kits. If your set on a single do the PL kit...

edit-seeing as how you want upgradeability DEFINETELY go TT, ST is the weaksauce.

TN...sending your turbo to simi valley to get fixed is better than austrailia..if not these then go greddy twins.

i got aps and love it, but the powerlab/intense kit is what i would have got if it was out when i did the install, safe power for stock block and when you build you can have a real monster. TN have too many issues and problems from what ive seen

two snails are better than one!

I have heard good and bad about both, the APS ST kit has an external wastegate now, but there were issues of how it mates up to the APS exhaust which were voiced by ST owners. I agree with going twin, save up and get the proven setup! APS TT or GReddy TT!


APS TT if you like having your front crash bar-like me! That is my deciding factor in my build plans.

will it cause bumper fitment issues? Who makes these? I actually like the GReddy kit more because of the external wastegates and i hear the power potential is higher with GReddy too...not that I will ever push 700 horsepower, but it's nice to know i could.

VERY interested in who makes the crashbar.

APS ST or TT? I'm not a turbo expert by any means, is there much difference anyways if you are making the power that you want to make??

No order online specials, but ANY half a$$ shop with some steel bar and welding skills can easily make you one. Many people have done this, I plan on doing it as well.
