Default A quest. for all STS owners..

I've read a ton on this kit. Seems like a pretty good deal..even tho all the hardcore H/C guys will tell you its not

anyways..I just wanted to ask what kinda noise this turbo makes? Is it loud or what..and what about the BOV. Also wondering if anyone has done an intercooler install and how much $ and time that cost 'em.

Just for the record, I love the drivability of turbo'd cars...I LOVE h/c cars..the sound the feeling..but imo the drivability of turbod cars >> drivability of H/C

ill prepare to take my shots now

More than enough STS or Anti-STS threads for everyone

I absolutely love my kit and wouldn't go back to a beefy heads/cam setup for anything.

Most of us that wanna push the kit to make real power are doing front mount intercoolers and having great results.

As far as noise, with stock exhaust ( manifolds and cats) the exhaust is not loud at all while driving normal. It is fairly loud under full throttle though, especially the wastegate. The BOV is not loud compared to others, but if it goes off, anyone within 20 yards or so can hear. If you drive normal, it doesnt go off.
