Default BEGIN RANT, I don't mind time and R&D when apr is forcing me to do R&D on their pre-defined kit

You would think the fact of knowing what u get, would be a selling point for apr, but I guess that's not the case, the ease of this upgrade in all aspects should be what APR is selling.

I really was considering the APR kit, I have about $5g's for this mod, and the APR kit would have been nice, but I've e-mailed them asking for 0-60 and and 1/4 mile times, they tell me to look on audiworld (one I've done that, 2 the info here is subjective, 3 it's your product (your supposed have done R&D for me), but they say they don't "give" out that information, and well then I guess that means I don't need to "give" them my money.

it's like the PC world, do I buy a new mobo and processor cause it's supposed to be the latest greatest thing, I mean cpu MHz is the biggest misconception on the PC market, a 1.7 MHz Intel Pentium 4, get's smacked around by 1.4 Mhz AMD Athlon, and how do we know this because people have done real world tests, and they are willing to share that information, I don't want to just see spec2000 charts.

In the same vain, what does a dyno chart mean to me, I want to see some time trials, and speed trap numbers, and the testing platform, what they were using, etc ... since APR is unwilling to bring forth this information then it leads me to believe their big monster of kit, is just a small sheep.

END RANT

Default i'm with you on this one. if you want to go with GIAC, why not 'start' from the their T28 kit

i'm not sure but i think its manifold bolts into more powerful turbos. if you talk to garrett i bet he'll have an upgrade path for you - something with 2 or more '+'s =)

Default What is so mystic about

a bigger turbo and a FMIC?
And the reason they havent actively marketed it is because their new FMIC is not finished yet.

To be fair, there is no data to back your statement up.
