The AX75 is flanged for a T04 - weird.
NO, it is NOT ball bearing.
"Floating metal" is A'PEXi's fancy way of restating oil journal bearings.
Supposedly makes up to 500hp easily.
Yes, Travis is using one on his FD3S.
Supposedly the first in the U.S. - how? His brother Lanny works for A'PEXi.
They stopped tuning at around 350hp, cause he was still using the stock fuel injectors.
The pulsewidths were getting too high.
What's funky about this "kit" is the *wastercooled* wastegate.
We couldn't figure out why they did this, except for maybe the slightly more compact design?
Boy, have fun running even more coolant lines way back there...

I actually heard that all Apex'i kits coem with watercooled wastegates now including the RX6, hence the increase in price for the kit.

Bumping this for people who posted on the newer AX turbo thread.
BTW, the link RacerXtreme7 posted has specs on the AX7582/92.

Talk about back from the dead! I'm glad to see this thread is back up in view of everyone. I haven't heard of anyone using this yet. Any new info available??
RETED, did Travis ever finish tuning the car?

I will have that turbo kit here today and bought the only kit that was in the states.
I will post some pics of the kit when I get a chance. It will be going on one of our customers cars with our stage 3 motor.
