APS Turbo Kit - Any release date yet?

Does anyone know what's going on with APS and the turbo upgrade that they posted on their page, but don't sell?

Are they planning on releasing it onto the market or not?

Check it out at: www.airpowersystems.com.au

They made a "few" of these kits, but stopped producing them to focus on parts/kits for other cars. Who knows if they'll ever actually ramp up production. I did extensive investigation into this kit before purchasing mine.

I had all the APS stuf on my STi and man was it ever expensive. The big parts were the SR55, DR725 and 3"tbe along with all the supporting mods. On 91 octane I was at 345 awhp on 18 lbs of boost. If I were to drop the same amount of money in the EVO that I did with the STi, I know the EVO would be a low 11 sec car.

I like the APS stuff and it's manufactured very well, but you will get more performance
with other known companies products for the same product.

My tuner at Dynocomp in Scottsdale, told me that they do sell them outside of the United States! Definitely not for North American Spec cars

another problem is since this kit is so hard to source the replacement parts are even harder. they use proprietary o2, exhaust mani, and turbine housing... if something breaks... you're hosed cuz i bet the wheels and crap inside is not easy to find and you'd never know what they are cuz apparently aps is hard to find too.
