Official STS help thread
I thought it would be a good idea to have a thread just for the STS kit. I know that there's all sorts of questions and ideas to help these kits work better so I thought I would make an official thread just for it.
Anyone feel free to post any questions you have and hopefully my fellow STS brothers and my self can help out

also, what are sts guys doing for their pcv setups? i've seen countless threads on pcv, but no one shows their setup w/ an sts kit. and i dont really like the idea of a breather on the oil fill cap, so any alternatives?

Here's a couple pics. All I have for now, as the car's in Seattle and I'm in Iraq
Here's the PCV lines from the valve cover and the STS bypass switch
From the valve cover it runs to an AMW catchcan. The can seems to dissipate the crankcase pressure. Sure you could add a breather to the catchcan, but I haven't had a need for this. From the can it runs back to the STS pressure switch and then into the PCV valve.
Here's a pic of the Catchcan. It's located next to the radiator by the AIR pump breather. The lines run along the top of the radiator to and from the can.
Hope this helps.

If the product is presented the right way and the customer knows pros and cons as well as ALL necessary parts, then the only other issue is someone that can install everything to work as designed. IMO, 90% of the issues are due to the installer.

most likely ...back and forth, mod after mod. Should be interesting. After all the trash talking has been done I can't wait to see how that T/A sounds. Im sure it will move good.
I know you and Al don't like Livernois, but you may have a thing or 2 to watch out for this summer.
Your rear end should hold up. Take it easy on the 1.4 60's.
