Default APS Air power systems pulling out of Australia

Have heard from a reputable source that APS is or might be pulling out of Australia. With most volume cars being able to be flashed and unichip as good as dead. They mostly now just do componets and kits but with no viable tuning gear. They are hugh in the US and they have basically stopped any Aus development and advertising. They are aparently moving to base themselved from the US

Wouldnt be suprised, last time I spoke to Peter a few years back he was solely concentrating on the US cars like the Infinity, 350Z, GTO and turbo kits for them as the market compared to here was huge. Would be interesting to hear if they are all moving over there or they are just setting up there then getting some locals to run it, and manage from here

They haven't done anything new on Australian cars for approx 3 years.
Australia was a small part of there market.
The Twin Turbo kits that are available here only came about because they also fit the US based cars, eg: our re-badged Commodores.

There's no truth in this rumour, that was the communication I got from the APS owner Peter Luxon.
