STS weather life Whats up everyone. I'm in the military and I'm preparing to deploy 6-8 months. I don't have the kit installed yet but I'm thinking of doing it before I leave. The car will be stored outside though, do you think there would be any problems with doing this? The car is going to be in California.

should be fine. I have a T3T4 setup remote style on my rockcrawler and it has sat all winter and a bunch of the summer for 3 years. Like stated above just store the car correctly.
GOOD LUCK on your deployment!!!!

BTW, feel grateful you only have a 6-8 month deployment! Beats the 12-14 month "tour" I'm currently on!

Nope, the pipes on the turbo won't rust. The turbine housing on the outside will (it's iron I believe), but internally it'll be fine. 
If you have a friend that can start it up once a month, I'd do that. Otherwise just make sure to park it on relatively level ground. Nose high and oil will pool in the turbo and seep past the bearins into the intake/exhaust over time. Nose low and some oil will be drawn from the turbo oil galleries. Neither of these will ruin the turbo, just not really good for it.
