Just today I cancelled the turbo, fuel pump, injector, bov etc because I’d like to change it up a little. Maybe that will speed it up a little too.
Update: I'm still waiting and its been 9 months. I havnt even seen one part yet! They told me it will ship this tuesday, but I don't think I beleave them.

Sorry to hear that your going through this but I know exactly how you feel. Have you tried cancelling your order and getting all your money back?

I've been following your company for quite some time now and I have to say that I've heard and read nothing but great things about your business. I wish I would have gone through you from the start instead of all the other headaches I have dealt with. Would be nicer if your shop was closer to Maryland also lol Keep up the great work!

What is your opinion on the APS kit? I put one on my 02 ws6 and I am trying to work through some issues such as the car having trouble idling after warmup, and trying to figure out a good exhaust system. I just joined so im not sure if this has been covered before. Any help will be greatly appreciated

to keep everyone updated on the hp performance kitt (turbochargedpower) the turbo is to far to the passenger side of the car. so the downpipe dosent fit. so hp is sending me an extension. the crosspipe is to close to the swaybar so im removing the swaybar.also the downpiping is rubbing the temp sensor ,so im getting 99 and up radiator wher the temp sensor is on the other side. the other problem is it is really hard for the shop ffp to get a hold of hp or the other way around . my car has been down for 2 months my bill is at 4 grand alrighty just for this install . i am really stressed and my car is still not ready the reason i got this kit because i seen it on dyno-proven GM LS1 Thru LS7 Performance Parts book and i reseached other peoples cars that had the same kitt they didnt have problems like mines so im lost lol

thank you guys, Lots of valuable information on this site!

so my question is..

What would be the best kit to go with STS or APS? I know APS is alittle more expensive, but the STS sound awesome. The only thing I dont like about the STS is the pipe that goes into the intake assembly runs under the A-Arm.

APS downside is you need a Kmember and its about a 2k dollar diffrence.

At least you can still contact the people you purchased the kit from, In my case Pro Turbo Systems out of San Antonio,Texas closed the doors, went into hiding with a lot of peoples money. They gave me an incomplete kit and they were gone the same day I picked it up. You cant always believe in what you read. These guys even came out in I think it was Hot Rodding Magazine saying how great they were. Well it turned out they weren't so great.
