Chipless 07-01-2008, 02:48 PM Here are some dyno numbers on the APS kit at 7 and 9 psi of boost. :driving: http://www.g8board.com/forums/showthread.php?t=3978 roswald0511 07-01-2008, 03:13 PM Your crazy! GEN TT all the way! Yea, if you want to spend 9 grand. Go ahead, I DARE YOU!!! Russo 07-01-2008, 03:39 PM Yea, if you want to spend 9 grand. Go ahead, I DARE YOU!!! you will spend 9k on an aps kit too... cause like most of these TT kits, they do not come COMPLETE... you have to spend another $1000-2000 on injectors, spark plugs, or some other stuff... LasT_ResorT_G8 07-01-2008, 04:09 PM hmmm decisions decisions I think I'll just go with a procharger lol LasT_ResorT_G8 07-01-2008, 04:13 PM No but seriously, I would like to know the pros and cons of both the systems, being a turbo system I know it can get pretty complicated. Anybody out there with the Gen tt kit on there g8 gt??? roswald0511 07-01-2008, 04:13 PM you will spend 9k on an aps kit too... cause like most of these TT kits, they do not come COMPLETE... you have to spend another $1000-2000 on injectors, spark plugs, or some other stuff... Well, I think you are still going to be spending a lot more on the Gen TT kit considering it is 8 grand without any fuel system components and the APS is only 6,500. roswald0511 07-01-2008, 04:17 PM No but seriously, I would like to know the pros and cons of both the systems, being a turbo system I know it can get pretty complicated. Anybody out there with the Gen tt kit on there g8 gt??? It looks like they both make the relatively the same power at the same boost. It is honestly based on your preference. You need to ask yourself two questions. How much do you want to spend? Do you want top mount or bottom mount? If you answer those questions, you have the answer to your question. LasT_ResorT_G8 07-01-2008, 04:19 PM true true.... I dont know I need to take a loan out like you and get some FI roswald0511 07-01-2008, 04:29 PM Haven't gotten it yet man. jsalbre 07-02-2008, 11:24 AM You two having the same avatar makes scanning threads quite confusing... I usually keep track of who's talking by avatar when reading quickly, and until I went back and checked the names I was thinking it was one person talking to himself! 32vGT 07-04-2008, 02:12 PM It probably is the same person. It's just his split personality. :) JEff roswald0511 07-04-2008, 06:04 PM It probably is the same person. It's just his split personality. :) JEff No, we are different people. We just hang out a lot. tiffer 07-05-2008, 02:26 AM Hi, I can't comment on aps, but I installed a gen-tt on a customers car a couple of months back and he is loving it. It pulls like a beast. The only extras required are injectors and a tune. The only hassle we had was a boost pipe blowing off cos the clamp wasn't tightened enough, and the electirc scavenger pump is a bit noisy. Apparently gen-tt have since changed the pump they supply. Tiffer MANOFSTEEL69 07-05-2008, 06:16 AM A speed shop in Columbus that deals with APS gave me a quote of $8,000.00 installed. I have decided to wait and go with the Magnacharger in the spring provided Mike at Haddad doesn't have any problems as he gets some miles on the car. I personally don't feel comfortable pushing that much horse the twin-turbo generates through the current drive-line and rear end.......Now the GXP.....There's a different beast with a few more Corvette inspired driveline and rear-end capabilities. h3llphyre 07-05-2008, 08:48 AM There's a different beast with a few more Corvette inspired driveline and rear-end capabilities. What makes you think the driveline will be any different? 32vGT 07-05-2008, 10:08 AM I wouldn't worry too much about the drive line except the transmission (I don't know much about trans'). There are Mustang GTs and Cobras pushing more power through their stock rear ends then this. On the same note what size rear do these cars have 8.8 or 7.5?

I personally don't feel comfortable pushing that much horse the twin-turbo generates through the current drive-line and rear end.......Now the GXP.....There's a different beast with a few more Corvette inspired driveline and rear-end capabilities. From what I've read the driveline will be exactly the same. I'm surprised the GXP will not be getting the 6L90E (since that is a beefed-up 6L80). Also, the rear differential will actually be weaker, since a higher ratio gearset has a smaller pinion with fewer teeth, which translates into a gearset that can break more easily. Anyone know how big the ring gear is in these vehicles? | ||
