STS on TV
STS on TV Anybody see 2 guys garage? They installed an STS turbos system on what appeared to be a stock SS. On 5. or 5.5 lbs it made 406 (I beleive) horsepower on their MUSTANG dyno. Pretty cuuull.
I saw it last nite. The baseline was weal 269 rwhp? But the kit put down major Hpcafter they were done ~400rwhp.
Was that a board memer's car. I remember they were loking for someone on here to use their car for the show. They wanted $3K.

I dont like how the intake is so low to the ground and behind the rear wheels. Seems like youd pick up a lot of dirt and grime,and moisture if you drove it in wet weather. But I guess the heat from the turbo would dry it up. I would be worried about running something over and banging up the turbo or ripping the oil lines out.

I had the same fears, I had a chance to be a test car and get a great deal on an STS kit, but those concerns kept me away from it. I may still get one. I also do not like the one exhaust pipe look.

While watching the show i was infuriated (sp?) with the stock numbers. It was like they were trying to embarrase the car. But then i rememberd it was on a mustang dyno. Does it really minus that much power as far as the numbers go? I wish they would have showed them driving the car and having some fun. ****I believe the car was a 2000. I think thats what they said.
I'm just wandering how fuel compensation is achieved. Obviously you cant use an fmu on our cars and even if you could I know its not the best way to achieve a proper tune. Is there some type of ECU flash. They were saying on the show that it was untuned. Is the factory ECU making all the adjustments?

how many different threads do we need on this same topic? Not to mention this was brought up a few weeks ago to look out for it.
