Default Any problems with the twins?

I am thinking about going with the APS twin turbos. I have never read anything bad about them. Just wondering, now that they have been around for a while, has anyone had any bad experiences or problems with them?

A lot of chatter about the APS twin turbos, but apparently not too many people actually have them.

You'll get a better response if you go to the C6 Forced Induction/Nitrous section of the forum.

No problems with mine.

I have them. I installed them myself, and I like them. I had problems with the install, but that is to be expected if you do it yourself. Everyone has different issues, mine just happened to be worse than others. I have only had minor problems so far after my install. Just oil and exhaust leaks that I have been able to fix. Well worth the trouble though, the power is extraordinary from 2000rpm to redline, but the car still drives and sounds and looks like its stock if you drive it normally.

Here is a link to my installation blog with lots of pics of my install in my garage.

Gosh, you and your wife are very patient. I hope you are really enjoying your car now. I wonder how long it takes a competent shop to install and tune?

Dynotech installed mine in Dec. 06. Have not had any problems with mine. The power is incredible. The only problem is TRACTION.

There's about 170 APS C6 twin turbo owners in the US..............many are not on this forum unfortunately.
