Because STS kits are junk. Better off with heads/cam or something to that nature.

not much difference in price and its about the same hp.....plus an sts kit can easily be removed for what ever reason. i have not heard bad things about them besides in the early models there was oil leaks but from what ive heard thats no longer a prob.

WicketMike went 11.8 with his STS, that doesn't sound too bad.

sts are junk, installed a kit and hated it on the dyno, get a used procharger if you want the extra hp. but honestly they are junk, poor desighn on the turbo's poor oiling to the turbo=shortened life, and if anyone finds out they are only 2 clamps and a couple of bolts from stealing your turbo. dont do it.

Stay away unless you're ready for some serious hang-ups. If you want to spend the money for a proper rear-mount, there's a guy in Vegas that does em - that's the guy that did ZombieSS's car. You can PM him or me if you want more info.

Wow he went .4 faster than I did, and I only made 330 to the tire with lid and muffler. Sounds really worth it to me....

Yeah they make power, but they don't perform where it counts.

oh dont forget a converter and gear. . always seem to leave those out!!!!

its cool ill wear ur piece of **** car all day long. . and i dont even have as many mods as u do . .!!!



dude if u want to go turbo and dont want to fab anything and cheap sts is a good place but if u want to be "fast" front mounts are the best bet. .
