Anyone Know Anything About This Turbo Kit
Anyone Know Anything About This Turbo Kit I am looking to boost at no more than 8 Psi. Anyone know if I am going to need an intercooler? If so where would I get one for the TA. Also and thoughts comments or suggestions I would like to hear anything you have to say thanks.... Oh Ya I have a 2001 Trans Am WS-6 Ram Air M-6.

Do a search...theres a crap load of info on the STS kit. I would use an IC for 8psi for saftey reasons. You'll also need some fuel accessories (pump, injectors, etc) Not quite sure which ones...but some of the sponsors to the right sell IC kits. How much are you willing to spend? Phamspeed makes a budget kit for a lot cheaper now. If you dont have a limit, look into the TTi, PTK, and Phamspeed kits and see which one you like the most.

The STS Methanol kit will cover you intake temps and fuel for only about $500. Get the dual stage boost controller so you can drive around town at 5 psi and switch to 8 Psi when ever you want. You go from 400 rwhp at 5 psi to close to 500 rwhp at 8 PSI with Meth. With clean injectors and a fuel filter you can get away with 5 PSI on the stock fuel system. If you want to run more boost a set of 45# injectors will provide some safety.
Look at this thread. https://ls1tech.com/forums/forced-induction/297659-ken-s-sts-cartek-gto-running-10-68-122mph.html That's all that has to be said about the STS kit. THEY WORK.

Verdad Gallardo According the John, you should be able to bolt up the budget kit just as fast as an STS kit. Both kits should be pretty easy to install considering you dont have to touch the stock exhaust manifolds. The most difficult part in any install would be the oil lines IMO.
BTW, are you done with your install hellraiser? How much longer until you get it tuned?

. I need to set a limit for myself. But everyday I see something else I want for the setup. I think I might have to go to meetings for people that put to much money into thier car.

don't see how it works at all... I wonder how efficient it is to run the turbo way back there?
