Default anyone see the two guys garage, turboed ls1

i didnt see all but the end of it, but they took an ls1 and put an sts turbo designed for the back by the exhaust, and dynoed before and after. stock around 260hp/260tq somewhere, and with the turbo it dynoed around 400hp/400tq. does anyone know what kind of turbo this was? i may be a noob, but i havent seen a turbo at rear end of a car before.. seemed wierd

Full STS system. Upgraded 40mm Tial Blow off valve. Nothing wrong with the kit. Bought it in Jan. and never put it on. Going twin turbo instead right off the bat. Good condition. No shaft play in the 60-1 and impellers look fine.

3000.00 pretty firm but will take offers.

Thats so funny. "You know guys, the STS system really doesn't work because based on my ricer turbo calculations it shouldn't work"

I had some kid come up to me at SEMA and say that same thing essentially. I pointed over to the GM power train engineers and told him that GM had just awarded us the Performance Porduct of The Year Award and asked if he knew something that GM didn't.
