We here at APS regularly review and improve our product range to take advantage of developments in materials, components and manufacturing techniques etc. 

At this point in time, supercharging does not offer the performance, durability or economy of turbocharging in 4WD applications. Fuel economy, engine power and engine torque etc. are all superior with modern turbochargers / intercoolers. Just as importantly, intercooled turbo systems offer significantly higher consistency of engine performance than supercharging (see Nissan Patrol study). 

Consequently in an effort to offer the optimum performance options for our customers, our entire range of forced induction systems are based on turbocharger / intercooler equipment. 

Safari Turbo Systems are available to suit most Japanese designed diesel and petrol engines built for 4WD/light commercial vehicles. 

Professionally designed and engineered, Safari Turbo Systems deliver performance increases in power (Kw) and torque (Nm) of up to 50%.  

Power is one aspect of performance, however. The philosophy at APS is that reliable performance must always be achieved and the particular needs of consumers understood. To this end, Safari Turbo Systems are often engineered for optimum torque at low engine speeds, willingly sacrificing a small amount of power at the top end to achieve: 

• Much improved driveability
• Better engine response
• Improved fuel economy
• The longest possible engine life
• Standard service schedules
