STS Concerns
The STS kit is junk. Chinese turbos, and shitty scavenge pumps. Two of the most important parts of that whole kit, rendered pretty much useless.
I understand the whole dare to be different thing, but save yourself the headache and do a front mount turbo.
chase3, you are dumb as ****. And keep trying to bash one of the most prestigious LSX tuners in the south west, see how that works out for ya.

Hot thin air able to do less work less mass... does less work.
Oh I dont know maybe a little thing like a patent LOL
Density less ping..... has more energy to be released then hot. cold air more mass will = pushes more mass aka turbo blades.
Was this comment really necessary?

why would sts tell you to run the stock manifolds and not long tubes and wrap the **** out of the exhaust pipes ? if cold exhaust gases spooled the turbo they would not tell you to do that
and if the design was good the automakers would buy the patent or find a way around id. don't forget that a turbo originally was intended for diesel use and i am sure it was patented
i have already explained it to you, but you keep coming up with some BS
i am surprised that you only see boost at 3000rpm with a 418 and only a t76
I never said rear mount turbos don't work nor have I said anything to the OP to try to change his mind so I am not sure what you are even talking about here.
Well I also tune cars and have done so for quite a while now and have no problem saying what I say on the internet to people's faces. I don't act different on the internet then I do in person. Besides, if you wanted to actually "beat the ****" out of somebody for calling you out on your misinformation then grow up. You are acting like a child that doesn't get their way. Besides around here coming up and attacking somebody is a good way to get permanently ventilated.

I agree, i had the setup on a 347 but like i said before LMR left my timing at 28 degrees on a motor i told them was 10:5 CR so it was only a matter of time before they melted. I will eventually go bigger than that but this turbo was so new i hated to just ditch it. STS says it would come in sooner with manifolds and such but i run big tube headers but im not trying to squeeze everything out of it, just have a fun street car.

I will post them when we get started. Autorama is coming up, so I have to help my friends get ready for that first before we can get started on my car. We will get started in early March from the sounds of it.
