I can't wait to see what they do to it. PFYC's GTO was pretty sweet. Let's see if Intense can top it.

Wow, I just look at the twin turbo one for the G8, wonder how much power that G8 makes.

Why is everyone obsessed with twin turbos? It means double the parts, double the heat, and double the cost. Single turbo setups are fine 95% of the time.

Choose a turbo from zzp or a twin turbo from Intense. The idea of a twin turbo is more tempting to some folks even though a single large turbo is probably better (not 100% sure. Just based on other forums and TV shows). Good move on Intense's part to get in ahead of the game while the G8 momentum is high amongst pre-GP owners. Can't stay in the 3800 market comfort level forever. They are probably going to do stuff like the old one with cams, injectors, rockers, diff, etc. Hopefully, their research will be thorough as going in early can backfire. If they make bad parts, zzp will swoop in to get complainers as they would have time to research. EDIT: Opps, the twin-turbo is just a rumor.

No, it's not. Go to their website, there are pictures and a price. No rumor.

Yeah, they just ripped pictures from APS of the Commodore since it hasn't been installed on a G8 yet.
In fact there would have to be customization of the kit I think unless APS has already altered the kit to work with the G8.
They should've waited imho to list it until they had actually installed it in a car first. It's just like intense to push a product for a car before fit and testing are done.

Granted, but I bet there are enough differences that it wouldn't be just a bolt in. I would also be a little concerned with the programming in the pcm as I'm sure there are differences between the two cars just based on the fact that they are for different countries with different regulations.
It probably wouldn't make that much difference, but I wouldn't buy it until it had been actually installed and tested on an american G8.

diff between twin turbo and single turbo that everyone likes is the spool time.....with large turbos you need Nitrous or something on the low end for oomph

For an intercooler + 2 turbos, 6.5k sounds about right in comparison to other TT car prices I've seen. If that's aussie's long used system, I feel better about it. Problem is, they need a lower tier turbo option as well. 6.5k is a huge chunk of change. A $3-$4k option will get more buyers. As soon as a company becomes available for it, then its a go. I'm sure ZZP will be a reseller for this APS turbo soon as well. Overall: http://www.airpowersystems.com/products_usa.html G8: http://www.airpowersystems.com/g8/g8_itt.htm Guess reusing car designs does come with benefits (aftermarket).

Which is one of the reasons why a twin turbo system is stupid, especially for an initial offering.

Only 557 whp on that first link! Did I not read something. So that is like 700-800 hp, thought it would be more.
Hardly a mess with the placement of the oil filter!
