Good luck mate!
I'll have mine on here shortly also.
Only suggestion is to change the cam out when you get a chance. I was gonna run my 226/.535/112 with this kit till I could afford a turbo cam and it will work but not optimum. I'm switching to something like a 224/220 .535 116. I'd be curious to see how your setup goes. I'm in a truck 5.3L so I'm only making 315-320rwhp even with my cam so I am hoping to get close to 500rwhp with 12psi.

STS Kit I have ordered mine and its sitting in my entry way the kit is nice and well made I dont think eviltwins is of the same mind set though he is really ******* STS and until we see more of them out on the streets I guess we will have to put up with comments like those Every one is entitled to there opinions though thats what forums do I guess.
Mine is going on a 6.0 SS Silverado so lets hope for some big numbers
Good luck with the install

Its installed I just got back from provo. The Guys at STS Turbo were great I even took a nap out dave's house. They didnt get mad about me standing and watching and asking questions about the install. They explained every part to me and how it works.
Ive learned so far you should run autolite 103 or ngk r6's a cool plug I had ngk t55's in mine and the gap was to big so the turbo blew out the spark. Go that changed and the tubro works great. The stock injectors are max out at about 5000rpms so i ordered 42lb injectors. Sould hit hard when finish the turbo looks great I get lots of looks and questions
So before you drive you turbo get tuned so your not lean and change spark plugs to copper and cooler and get injectors so you dont blow your engine.
