Can't wait for details!
Looks like much better thought though design!
Don't really care for the air filter placement though...

Looks like it'll be behind the plastic inner fender once they are back in place. Nice...

this is like saying we have a cure for cancer psa,
but we have no clue when we will have fda approval.

not trying to disclaim anything, i just want to clear
up any misinformation and or falsified claims.
i'll stand by mine.
that's all i have to say about that.
sorry for the interruption. nice pictures.
1st off I work in the R&D department for STS and did all of the design for this and many other kits.

2nd there is no "Steve Squires", the owners name is Rick Squires.

3rd these pictures are from the prototype vehicle which we have gotton all the info we need to reproduce the kit to be sold to the public.

This is not misinformation or a false claim. This is the new twin turbo kit from STS which will be available early next year. (keep in mind that next year is only a month away...)

damn you need to relax.. if your right time will show that this guy is bull$hitn and your right but until then be happy that the V community is finally getting a turnkey Turbo kit.

This looks legit to me and I hope to see a R&D dyno run ASAP.

you are an *** goblin who started posting your stolen pictures
on my thread.

you have no price, you have no release date, you have nothing but
4 pictures. i tried to be civil with you, but you can't seem to understand
that you're selling smoke and mirrors.
i don't deem you a threat, i just don't repsect your game. as a grown man
you can do whatever floats your boat, but in 4 months when this kit is still unavailible,
your going to look like a complete fool. good luck with that.
as soon as i post lsxtv's intrest in my project, out you come like a
turtles pekkr.
crawl back in your shell and come back when "RICK" okays your erroneous marketing strategy & falsified sales pitch.

good luck P.T. BARNNUM.

PS. in closing, feel free to contact STS about said product, or for any info
on who this guy is in reference to said company.
if he is sweeping the floors at R&D department, he's about to be unemployed

You've been banned once, I'm suprised they let you back on.

Either way, WHOEVER built this kit has beaten you to the punch, and done a much better job of it. Perhaps you could stop acting like a douche and just accept it. Your car will still be done, you'll still own it, what the difference?

If you say this guy is not who he claims to be, you must know something we don't, so prove it and gain some credibility.

Right now you're just making youself look like an even bigger idiot.
