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!!!!

The one pictured is running 14psi I think.With that psi, he needs a FMIC. Pretty much anything over 5psi with the sts you need to cool the charge air to be safe.

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

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
