Since the first release of the Corvette, Chevrolet ignited the passion of performance enthusiasts who desired high performance, sharp handling and killer looks. The C6 Z06 has now taken the Corvette legend to new heights and has produced what is arguably the greatest 'Vette yet. Now, the perfect partnership has been formed to take the Z06 to a performance level that will have thoroughbred supercars running scared. Drawing on 30 years of turbocharging, supercharging, intercooling and engine management system design and production knowledge, APS has created the ultimate High Output System for the Corvette's 7.0L LS7 engine. Drawing on the man-years of APS engineering and testing efforts for the market leading APS C6, C5 and GTO Twin Turbo systems, APS raised the bar further still with the APS Twin Intercooled Twin Turbo System for the Z06. Lift the hood and the engine bay looks neat and purposeful - a quantum leap over any turbocharger or supercharger systems available today - a signature of APS workmanship. But great looks don't just stop there. At the business end under the engine bay is where all the action is. A straight forward bolt on totally engineered system that utilizes the latest in liquid cooled true ball bearing turbocharger technology.

Working in harmony, both GT3582R true ball bearing turbochargers deliver ballistic power with bullet proof turbocharger reliability - and with custom APS end housings, that ballistic power is delivered with extreme efficiency and in a super compact package that is ideally suited to the dynamics of the vehicle. Each liquid cooled turbocharger is directly coupled to the custom APS High Energy exhaust manifolds, cast in super tough high silicon/moly Iron for maximum durability and precision NC machined for leak free exhaust operation. High engine bay temperatures have always been the Achilles heel of forced induction engine performance. With each turbocharger tucked up under the chassis, heat is channelled away from the engine compartment for high engine durability and consistently high engine performance. With the APS Twin Turbo configuration, under bonnet air temperatures are a fraction of traditional turbocharger designs. In fact, for even greater peace of mind, the extreme duty APS engine oil cooling system included with the APS Intercooled Twin Turbo system adds yet another level of engine reliability. Two huge 44mm TIAL external wastegates deliver enhanced boost pressure stability under extremely high boost pressure conditions in addition to a great degree of boost pressure flexibility. For example, with a simple change of the wastegate spring specification, a variety of boost pressures can be set - from 5 psi all the way through to over 20 psi. A pair of huge, highly advanced, bar and plate intercoolers, deliver chilled air with a target pressure drop of less than 1.0 psi with intercooler outlet temperature less than 15°F over ambient, at any vehicle speed over 50mph. Truly outstanding results at such a huge horsepower level - and just like the APS turbochargers, the APS intercoolers have massive additional headroom available. Huge horsepower demands huge exhaust gas flow - and this is an area that APS Engineering has paid particular close attention - not only to the complex physical performance of the exhaust, but also precisely tuning the sound quality to the dynamics of the vehicle. The result is a superb mandrel formed and TIG welded 304 grade stainless steel twin 3" exhaust system that delivers a symphony of turbocharged sound and crisp turbocharger response - at any RPM. The fuel system is a critical part of any forced induction solution particularly at the high performance levels of the APS Intercooled Twin Turbo system for the C6 Z06 Corvette. Included in each APS Z06 TT system is a comprehensive APS Extreme Performance fuel system that employs twin in-tank fuel pumps to deliver a huge volume of fuel through highly robust Teflon lined stainless steel braided fuel lines to the APS billet alloy fuel rails. Best of all, the APS fuel system operates at rock steady constant differential fuel pressure that is balanced and boost referenced for the ultimate in fuel system performance.
