actually, i see the Apexi kit listed for sale all over the net and its also on Apex's website. I believe their are intentions to rerelease the kit for the d-series and also sell a b-series kit aswell.

Like I said previously, the D-Series AX kit from Apexi has been DISCONTINUED due to lack of sales. The last of the kits were sold in a huge group buy on the Group Buy website for 2199.00.

tune on the dyno for best results
Thanks for such a specific response

Thats not what I was asking. I know that to see the best results you should tune on a dyno. What I was asking, is whether it is possible to just set a map for the emanage using the profec, just by adjusting that, similar to the way you would adjust the vafc, or do you need specific maps based on A/F readings from the dyno?

For shits and giggles lets just say the apexi kit was thrown into the mix...then which of the 3 would you guys choose.

Keep your answer unbiased...

i am very biased and will say greddy. i haven't had any probs with my kit, and if the new kit has a better turbo, then i think that should be your choice.
i don't think the max hp makes too much of a difference unless you're going to build your engine and run much higher boost.

sleeper: have you seen any numbers for the 19t kit and what it can put down at about 10psi?

I would go with the Greddy kit. The Apexi kit was VERY overpriced for what it offered. Also, the matching FMIC and fuel kit were rediculously priced as well. If I buy anything from Apexi, it's going to be either electronics or a very large turbo. :thumbup:

If I wanted a BB turbo, I could buy a base kit with a Garrett BB turbo, FMIC, and wastegate for 1200.00 (retail) then add the other stuff on and still come out less than either the Apexi or Edelbrock. It's that simple.

Apexi - Overpriced BB basic kit
Edelbrock - Pricey BB full kit
Greddy - Cheap, quality basic kits - add everything the other kits have an you still come out cheaper

Not yet. We (Westy and myself) installed one about 2 weeks ago. The guy just got his Profec E-01 in and plans on dyno tuning it within the near future. I'll let you guys know what happens.:thumbup:
