| APS Intercooled Twin Turbo System Installation Guide - APSCC6-TTS/06 |
| Before Commencing Installation:
Verify that you have a G.M. workshop manual for the C6 Z06 Corvette and that you have all necessary tools as listed..
CLEAN ALL AIR DUCTING PRIOR TO COMMENCING INSTALLATION.
The sequence of installation of each part is very important. It needs to be carried out exactly as outlined in the instructions. Failure to do this will result in an unnecessary level of frustration.
Always use fuel with a minimum octane rating of 93 (R+M)/2. (Equivalent to 98 RON). If a lower fuel octane rating is to be used, appropriate ECU retuning will be required (eg. to retard ignition timing) and the possible installation and use of water/methanol injection system.
Depending on your chosen application, an engine oil cooler and/or or larger capacity radiator may be required.
The APS turbo system is primarily intended for installation by qualified technicians in fully equipped workshops. If this installation is attempted in a non-professional environment, all personal safety obligations rest with the individual(s) concerned.
