STS Question, Will it fit on a 3800 since its rear mount? Hi my friend was wondering if he could fit a STS turbo on his 3800 Firebird since he has the Y87 appearance package and dual exhaust like the Trans Am's since it is a rear mounted turbo? Could he just hook it up to his exhaust and use the same pipes it comes with to run it back to the intake?

Called STS company and they said yes it would run all the way the same to the intake then would take a little manipulation to go into that, and said he could expect from 80-100 HP. But feel free to chime in if anyone has any opinions ect.

I think it will be very laggy, you will at least need hot pipes to turbine header wrapped. If it's a 5 speed, I would be even more worried about lag. Start by researching A/R sizing on the turbine for the displacement you have on a rearmount set-up. If it is an automatic, a stall converter will greatly increase spool time. GL to you and your friend.
