The mileage part is absolutely true. The best I had ever gotten was 27.5. After installing the turbo at STS in Utah I drove back to Tx. and got over 29mpg 2 times.
29.3 from Denver to Raton NM. and 29.7 from Raton to Amarillo Tx. I have broken 29 again since from Dallas to Houston. I know you dont buy a turbo for mileage; just sharing.

For California people or those worried about SMOG it is the perfect kit. It is so easy to remove come smog time that it's a no brainer unless you are looking to make 500+rwhp.

STS is the SHIZNIT!

Great kit, but make sure you get tuning done. If you can spare the cash get an intercooler setup as well, it makes a HUGE difference. I love my STS setup. Most cars go vroom vroom, STS cars goes vrooomHISSSSS PSSSHHHT, vrooomHISSSSS PSSSHHHT!
