Help with the StS turbo. hello 
, this is my first thread on this forum. I need your help with the sts turbo. I live in a small island/counrty called Bahrain, the weather here is mostly humid and hot. I own a Lumina SS, which is also called Commodre SS in Australia. This is the site for the specs of the car, pictures, and etc http://www.holden.com.au/www-holden/...w?modelid=4005 , but i dont think there is a big difference between it and the GTO. Both are ls1's and im only talking about the 2004 cuz the 2005 has an ls2 engine. (hint:my car has 4-speed automatic transmission)
I've been to ststurbo site and i love it, and i've seen the turbo kit. i saw one of ur dear member's car perform really nice on the drag strip, i think it was kenny and i must say im really impressed
.
Anyhoo i would like to know:
1.The name of parts for the upgrade kit w/the price.
2.What do i need to keep the car driveable and safe when installing the sts turbo w/the price?
3.What is the best place for tuning my ecu? can i send mine over there and get it tuned?
4.What do u think of this turbo?How would u rate it from a scale 1-10?and y?
I hope these questions are not vague and are clear to all of u, who know about the sts turbo and i would appreciate ur help

You should definitely call the guys at STS, they can verify if it'll fit your ride. But, there are a few things that you should consider. Aside from the base kit, you'll need a fuel pump, larger injectors, boost controller and either meth injection or a FMIC. But, before you order anything, you need to think it through. What kind of power do you want to ultimately run? This stuff, if addressed before, can save you a bunch of money. And, when planning, remember boost is addictive.
Mail order tunes can work, but I wouldn't suggest them. You need to find someone locally that can tune the car for you, OR buy a tuning program and learn how to do it yourself. Good luck!

nyss guy, you've dealt with it, can u list me the parts i need to make the car stand the power. The power i want to run is between the 500-600whp mark. for the 'saving' part, thats why im asking you guyz to help me find the easiest/ cheapest way to get the mods. by cheap i mean the best prices for everything i need on the market and im talking about the US.
and for the tuning part, the tuners here suck and most of them cant get it right or dont even know wat their doing. a friend of mine told me its better if i send my ecu there and get it tuned.
it would be nice if u could list me the parts i need

To hit 500-600 rwhp, you should really consider a forged bottom end. It's possible to hit that power level with only a cam and the turbo, BUT I think you'd be pushing it. This is all gonna depend on what your budget is.
