In the world of FT-86 tuning who is the company that is most like GoAPR - APR Tuning?

APR is not the fastest tuner and it is debatable if they are the most reliable. But they do have good marketing and good presentation of their products and kits.

For example their turbo and software come in stages 1, 2, 2+, K04, 3, 3+ - http://www.goapr.com/products/?vehicle=Golf_MKVI

and everything is packaged from fittings, to hardware, to software. You don't need to piece together a kit or go to different vendors to get a stage for your VW or Audi.

I see APR as the Apple of VAG tuning. You go to one place to buy everything and it all works because it all comes from one place. Also, if you need support you can go to one place.

However, when I look at the Forced Induction board for this forum there are umpteen vendors all offering turbos or superchargers. Some are small shops and some are big vendors from the Subaru space.

The closest thing I have seen to an APR like package for the FT-86 is Perrins' Supercharger Kit:

So who is that vendor?

Thoughts? Opinions?

Thanks
