STS turbo pics
that will never work....hangs too low...prolly scrub if you do a wheelie where you drag the bumper. The housing is gonna crack when it gets rain on it from you doing 20 psi in the rain/snow 
Install looks nice. I can't wait until people with the kit get some seat time at the track with. Oughta put out some good numbers!!!!

Verdad Gallardo if i get the STS turbo, will i need to do anything to my bottom end to run 7-9#? I know with the ATI P-1SC i can do that and still be safe with the 10.5:1 CR. If i can then i think i definatly want to go with the STS

PUREVL whats up with that longer silicone coming off your tbody? What modifications did you have to make to your kit to work with 14psi? My intake pipe came pretty close to my powersteering pulley. Was that your fix for that?

No we obviously got the gt70 and fmic to push it to that level. Kept the timing very very low as well. My 10 psi numbers were at 14 degrees I believe. Don chime in here and explain the install cause i was sleeping in his garage when he did it

you can handle about 500 rwhp on stock bottom end, anything over 5 psi will require a fmic or meth
I highly recommend an intercooler for all the STS kit's.Methenol is just a band aid.On a stock motor I recommend 5-8lbs,intercooler,42lb injectors and a fuel pump upgrade.That will put you around 480- 500hp/450-500tq on pump gas.The STS will outpower a Procharger in the midrange.
cool thats what i wanted to hear. i figured that i would need the i/c the fuel pump and bigger injectors.. what if i did the meth injection with the fmic? could i run more boost on my stock bottom end? The goal for my car is to be a consistant 11's runner that is a daily driver, so im just trying to do my research on how to make power with out having to serious stuff like swapping pistions and whatnot
