Dan is selling his slightly used APS single turbo, if you didn't know already.

You made the right choice by going to Dan for the important install! Combined with his affordable pricing and excellent service/quality, he's unbeatable as far as shops go.

^^^+1 - Dan does do great work... I like how he lets you chill in the shop and you get to learn at the same time while he is doing the work. Not many places let you do that...

Don't think that will work too well..... Pretty sure you have to use the APS ST exhaust.... I could be wrong though

you shouldnt blow your motor THAT fast.. Should be good to go.. need to read the thread over again but are you going to have a piggy back ecu (ie:XS UTEC) or anything like that so you can get that thing tuned?

I went over there to scarab... Dan is a really cool guy. but I wouldnt trust his tuning skills... I bought a unichip from another forum member and even thought it was supposidly the same as his the first thing he did when he got in my car to tune it was pull out the instruction manual on how to do stuff on a unichip.... it was that experience that led me to sell the unichip and get a utec... well that and he charged me 345 bucks to reverse my charge pipe and move an ac line 2 inches.... everything he did I could have done myself.... again... Dan= great guy... I had a great time over there and I wish him the best but as far as his tuning ability I would highly reccommend you taking it to someone who knows what they are doing... he is going to charge you 450 bucks for a street tune that will NOT be safe on your stock block.... get a real dyno tune even if you have to get it towed somewhere.... I know everyone has to learn some time but I am not willing to let someone do it with my car.... if you get almost any other tuning solution call this guy...
http://www.macellarosperformancetuni...ges.php?vid=25
His name is Chris Macellaro, he works for EFI university so he travels around and teaches shops basically how to tune.... I got my Utec tuned for under 500 bucks and I was on the dyno for 3 hours.... he has worked with and knows sharif at forged..... he is busy but well worth the wait... and would be alot safer....
