They are expensive and people think they are getting bargains getting xyz FMIC etc on ebay for a lot less without understanding that they dont work.

The APS kit fits like a glove and doesnt require any major modifications and works perfect.

Cheers btw

I'm a bit of an APS *****,
Can't fault the equipment although Bob Rawle has mentioned that the blow off valves sometimes have issues with not holding a vacuum and this results in the boost coming on a bit later. Not sure if mine suffers from this but he is going to have a look at it to see if it's OK.
I Currently have the following fitted:
APS DR725 front mounted intercooler
APS SR55 ball bearing turbo

APS Cold air induction system
APS High flow turbo exhaust outlet
APS 3.5” race exhaust system
APS High volume dual vent blow off valve
APS FRP/03 Race Fuel System

I am having the APS turbo inlet pipe fitted next month.
All of the parts are of high quality and as already mentioned, fit really well.

Wise move Prasius
Thanks to the exchange rate I got the turbo inlet pipe for just £140
One thing to know is that you will either have to get the parts in person or get an American to order them on his credit card and have them delivered to his house/work etc. as they would not deliver using a credit card with a UK billing address.

I've already got a contact in Florida who works for the local Subaru dealership - who also happens to be an APS stockists. Thanks for the reminder about the credit card - I didn't think about that I'll find a workaround

As far as the saving goes it varies depending on the item - but you'll save (not including shipping/duties/etc) about £90 - £100 on the parallel fuel rails, about £50 - £60 on the CIAK....

Some of the differences in retail prices with the current favourable exchange rate:
Dual vent BOV - UK £145 - US £128
Fuel rail kit - UK £345 - US £230
FMIC DR725 - UK £1065 - US £766
3.5" exhaust - UK £810 - US £664

You will then have to add shipping and import duty to these prices, not sure how much that would cost

See my slightly ranty post in NSR about shipping from the states

Some places are stupid.. others are great. I may be able to get a set of phenolic inlet manifold spaces, with extended bolts and two sets of Subaru gaskets for $110 shipped (quoted $5 shipping! I've sent a mail to query!).
