Universal STS Kit? Has anyone on here used the universal STS turbo Kit?
The price starts around $1700, Is it worth buying this kit?
I know that i have to but extra parts to make this kit work, but how much extra money am i looking at, and what are the extra parts i will have to get?

it probably comes with a small *** turbo that youll have to upgrade. Youre going to end up spending over 4k to get it right(oil pump, valve springs, pushrods, tune, etc)

Better off doing a FMIC setup. For a truck manifold kit you will spend what you are looking at now after all the upgrades and oops forgot about this. If you are in the service(AF) since you are in Goldsboro there has to be someone there who can help you scavage some cheap parts.

Thinks for the input.
I want to get away from N2O, and go with a turbo. It will be 2-3 months before i buy anything, im just trying to figure out what i want to go with without spending a whole lot of money

Thats probably not going to happen by the time its all said and done when going to a turbo,,, But good luck to you in your turbo upgrade without spending some cash?LOL Anytime ive ever tryed saving money by not doing it right the first time ,it always cost me more in the long run LOL Just my opion now.Best setup ive seen so far for the money is the front mount using the truck manifolds and you wont have all the bullshit with the electrical scavanging pumps either with the STS setup and the giving up of your subframe connectors for the STS inlet pipes or plumbing!
