Default apex turbo kit for B18C?

I noticed that supposidly apex has released the kit for the GSR, but i did some searchin around and found nothing on it. I just wanted to know what kind of components come with the kit. Intercooler piping size, wastegate (from the pick on the site it looks to be internally gated), intercooler size, and those type of specs. Another ? is the turbo they use when does it hit its maximum effeciency. And most important what kind of price do they kits carry as well?
Thanks

Well the kit is not yet out. I know that it uses the same turbo as the D16 kit which is a P13 IHI turbo (ballbearing) sorta like the turbo in a WRX. It's manily for people who want boost and mild hp nothing like a T3 60-1 or a SC60 would do for you.

I did a post on it a long time ago. Please use search:

do search under creator "glagola1" he's super cool and one of the few people who run the Apexi kit on thier Bseries motor. He has a LS though ..but just imagen if was a B18c1 I've talked with him many times about his setup. He isn't makeing the most HP possible on a stock LS but his power range is very good for street driving and lag is not an issue with a 1.8 or bigger.

The gains should be very similar when the kit comes out for the Bseries, the only thing that will change is the manifold and the kit will come with an optional fuel mangment system. here is a link to a Japanese site that already has the kit,you can get it through them but shipping will be a lot.

botton line... you get what you pay for with APEXI. Everything is top notch material and quality in craftmanship. I would also like to know how well a P13 IHI turbo responds directly with a B18c1
