Default ****APS C6 Twin-Turbo Automatic "Triplets" JUST COMPLETED!!!****

Dear C6 Owners,

We here at LAPD just completed three back to back C6 APS Twin Turbo installs and they are all automatics!!! One was a 2005 C6 A4 and the other two were 2006 C6 A6 vehicles.

We limited them all to 6 psi at WOT as we didn't want to put 9 psi through stock automatic transmissions. They all surpassed 500 RWHP and after driving them, they are perfect everyday drivers with ultra-smooth power delivery! Our goal was to deliver drivability more than anything else. These cars are just awesome!!!

We will post the dyno sheets sometime today for the cars in three separate posts.

We have installed a total of FOUR APS C6 twin turbo kits so far. The first one being a manual 2005 C6 and the last three were automatics. We will be installing another APS C6 twin turbo kit within the next few weeks on another 2005 C6 A4 which will give us a total of FIVE!!

Give us a call if you want us to twin turbo your C6 with APS' kit. NOBODY ELSE IN THE WORLD HAS DONE MORE THAN LAPD!!!

Thanks!

Shawn

Can you tell me how long is the installation? Also what would be the total cost for a C6 A6?

We didn't take detailed pics of the installation of the last three because we posted a lot of pictures of the very first APS install we did back in June. Do a search on the forum for APS and you will find it.

Thanks!

Shawn. I watched all your APS installations and was impressed how fast and efficient they were. There is nothing more fun than seeing the owners' grins after their first demo rides. Congratulations.

Default Big thx to L.A.P.D.

I just got my C6 A6 TT from the crew at L.A.P.D. today . I have to give them props for bending backwards to please their customers. I am pretty sure I drove Al nuts but he handled with top level professionlism.You can tell that all of them are just as excited if not more then their customers when they mod a car. I can't comment to the full extent about the TT yet cause its willing to give more then I want to bite off just yet. Having gotten quite use to the power over last 9 months of ownership I must say I feel like a virgin with a whole new woman.

Curious about A6s ... did you do any tranmission upgrade or "strengthening" ... have you reached any conclusions about need for a converter to match up with TT torque??? ... thanks.

At this time, there isn't much you can do on the A6 clutch to clutch transmissions to build them up for additional power so instead of running 9 psi at wot, we limited all the automatics to 6 psi. They still get past the 500 rwhp mark and they do it in a safe manner.

How about opening a branch in the Chicago area? We only have one vendor in our area and he has only completed Ricers and no vettes.
Wish you were closer.

We wish we were in every city of every state in the U.S. so we could service and accomodate the nation's Corvette owners.

You can always ship your car to us for the APS install.

I've had first hand experience watching all three recent APS TT C6 installs, I've witness the techs burning the midnite oil till pass 11:30PM on a Sunday turning the wrench...the techs take pride with their workmanship!!! Great work LAPD and best of luck to the owners...
