Mark, 722ish, had a roblem with his APS turbo and it's seals. Other then that, that's the only bad I've heard about them.

Yep, i did have a turbo puke out seals, but now my APS fuel rails are a little leaky AGAIN, and a mounting bracket for the Intercooler broke, i dont know if its due to flex, as the piping moves a lot, or just cause front mounts suck APS stuff works nicely i suppose, but i have had a whole hell of a lot of problems considering they are supposedly some of the best products out there... oh well, as soon as i go to tear into this thing i dont think ill be using too much APS stuff, as im not going to run another "bolt on" turbo..

Now about a tranny

Out of fairness, Mastro Subaru replaced the turbo at no charge, and ate a big chunk because APS and Mastro don't fully see eye to eye on it's demise. It's the only one I've heard of having a problem.

The bracket is also an oddity. I haven't heard any feedback from other owners regarding this issue. I good faith, Mastro is inquiring with APS on some help with the bracket.

So far, the quality has been very nice, consistent and done what they say it will. It's far nicer than a lot of parts out there.

Hey Bill, believe me, i appreciate all the quirks my car has put up and you guys have dealt with as well as possible... for a while there i was in there pretty much a few times a week, im sure you got tired of seeing me but hey, I was funding your kids for a little while there right? anyhow, for all the great work you guys have done for me I have NO complaints... Sometimes im just a little dissapointed that I have to put up with all the problems, this is why i paid out the money initially for the APS stuff, hoping along with quality, i would get great reliabilty... Oddly enough, im the only one that seemed to have a problem...

Mark
