Well STS said it was the easiest turbo system on the market to install and look they were right. It only took me 30 min to bolt the whole thing up!

a turbo that far away from the heads...won't get much spoolage unless u go w/a very small hot side to it....

I want to see real proof these (Back of the car) turbo's are working....heat, pressure....that is what drives a turbo....that far back...I have my doubts...but I won't say it can't work untill numbers are posted..both dyno and track.....

You want proof? How about a Dyno graph!



Seriously though I'm about as much of a critic as you are on this, but unless they are seriously faking their dyno graphs, the kits make good power especially considering their $3K cost. My initial reaction is the lag has to be horrible, however on a V8 it's not like you don't have torque to get you by while the turbo is spinning up. I'll try to reserve judgment until I see one in person.
