Looks easy...very impressive.

 

Nice directions, but just from glancing at it, there are a few areas of potential concern.

The driver's side turbine is inches from the oil filter and is only separated by a tin heat shield, the compressor-to-intercooler hose runs UNDERNEATH the front crossmember (at least that portion is metal, but the piece aft of that is silicone and there doesn't appear to be any protection from road debris), the wastegates are somewhat far from the turbine, expecially the driver's side (potential for boost spikes?).

 

Did I miss the part about replacing the motor with an LSX block. Lowering the compression for boost, avoiding the otherwise unavoidable BOOM when boosting a stock LS7?

 

APS makes a great turbo kit. Actually they make several GREAT turbo kits. All are offered at a competitive price as well.

The LS7 can take 6 pounds of boost and be reliable. It's not my style to go and do something like that. But it's been done, and proven.

I'd rather go ahead and sleeve the block, or go Warhawk/LSX depending upon the final goals. If I were throwing twins on a Z06, I'd go all the way engine wise, but that's just me.

Some of what you stated has merit Amir. But the kit has been proven for over a year now. Also, those pictures don't do the kit justice. It tucks up in the chassis very well. If you end up hitting something on the road with any of those hot parts, you're first going to end up hitting the front bumper and destroying the lower lip/ air deflector.

 

+1. My experience with APS products has been phenomenal.
