Simplicity is one of the reasons I went with an N/A set up.
Drawback is getting beat by power adder cars.

Ya i agree, tuning a turbo car isnt that difficult. Do you have issues with injectors or somethign else? We've done several STS installs and never had a problem. Not the most efficient setup, but we always made decent power with them.

With the milage you have on the motor, it might not be a bad idea to drop a fresh motor in.

out of curiousity, whats the problem with tuning?? if you get someone to tune it thats familier with FI than you shouldnt have a problem with it.

if it were me, id get rid of the STS and if you wanna jump back into FI get a Procharger. if you dont wanna deal with FI anymore than stay N/A and keep it simple like Tektrans said.

tuning isnt an issue really, i have tons of faith in my tuner. we arent finished with it yet. but the thing is starting to push oil through the pipes WITH the oil restricted!! seems everyday i hit a bump somthin scrapes after the time i took cuttin and tig welding the kit so it tu ked up nice underneither ( car is not lowered.


i guess ill go with 6.0 iron mill the heads and go big cam that works with my stall.



anyone wanna buy an sts kit ? lol

Maybe depending on what you want for it and when you plan on selling it.

sounds like the setup is almost dialed in, search the forced induction section some people have oiling problems with their sts cars and it might be an easy fix.
