Thought I would share this info that I stumbled on while doing the rainy days FB roll through.

I’d think almost everyone at this point will just get the more trusted solid and proven APR kit. Not to read too much into that but they’re still testing after how many years? You’d think many will not feel well with the clearly rocky past of this kit.
You think almost everyone is going to ignore the fastest kit from the most successful 4.2 tuning company on earth (JHM), and buy the Apr kit which is 50% more expensive?
Lol, I didn’t have the heart to say it.
It also won’t be maxed out, limit is the stock motor.
Not to mention out of order installation manuals and fitting/cutting of fuel and coolant lines.
For 20k it should be a direct drop in.
I don’t get the thread though… Didn’t the aviva rs4 trap 126 mph ? Is that not what this is? Definitely making 500 whp.
“it should be a direct drop in”. Is that seriously an expectation? Would you rather they just fab up and ship you brand new fuel and coolant components? Why not save money and adapt the stock components?
For the amount of money, yes.
he is referring to comments from someone installing an APR kit (DIY) who mentioned that a bunch of lines need to be cut to size, and braiding needs to be added. The question asked was 'why, for $19500, is this not already done for us?"
Valid question. I’m sure APR will reconsider.
So it’s something a shop would be fine with doing? Is the issue that the DIY guy might not have the skills to complete the task properly? Not everything has to be DIY-able.
I think you just need to read the comments.
We left the line at length on purpose. Some may need an extra inch or so, so we give our customers more.
If someone is unable to cut a hose, I don’t think they should be installing the kit. : )
I don’t think the issue was that they weren’t comfortable with it. They just don’t think they should have to. They didn’t realise there was a reason for it not being done.
Maybe this can help.
If you purchased a new TV and it was the most expensive TV in the world, and the second best TV, and it came with the remote in 5 pieces that you had to put together, you might say 'WTF…why isn’t this done for me? This doesn’t feel high end.
If there was indeed a reason to leave that to the customer, it would make sense. But that reason wasn’t articulated until the customer did it himself and asked in public forums.
