What's the difference between a ST80 and a S85?

Really? Because I have a ST80 and it's a big turbo, weighs 46lbs, the turbine housing alone weighs 21lbs.

Look into push to connect / lock fittings and vacuum line. Nice clean look, and very affordable. My local house of hose has nice weatherhead fittings that are all metal construction and do not use those plastic locks.
