This is the link to a member named ZL1Killa who has gone through the many hoops and jumps to get his remote STS system sorted out. It's 20+ pages of browsing, but informative.

I am just about done my rebuild and then (like ZL1Killa) the fun will begin with troubleshooting and tuning.

Best of luck and if you have any questions, i'm sure you can pm him or any of us and we'll share what we know.

The keys are:
1. intercooled system
2. referencing boost from intake not wastegate or turbo
3. fuel system upgrades
4. proper exhaust tubing (manifolds and wrap vs headers)
5. longer gearing vs shorter
6. if you have the ability, sort out a better oil return line than your oil filler neck.

the header wrap keeps heat in the exhaust so your turbo will be able to spool better, long tubes disapate heat too much lagging rear mount spool time
