Default So happy with my sts kit

Got my sts on this past weekend. Jesse at JLTurbo and his buddy took care of everything for me. Got the turbo on up and running, installed the methanol, gauges, injectors, dyno and tune and came back home. The car sounds like a jet taking off and the blow off valve is crazy. When driving normal, you cant even tell, but when i hit it, it just plants you in the seat and you listen to the whine, the sound is soooo sweet. Mad props to jesse and the guys at jlturbo. Awesome job. The sts kit is definitely worth the money. Pushing almost 500 hp with this setup. Cant wait to see what happens at the track. Turbo + LS1 = One bas *** ride!

thats great glad you like it and Ill tell you the best thing about it is when your driving normal you cant tell theres anything done to it untill you jump on it then all hell brakes loose.lt sounds like an f16 fighter jet.also you can make snotnose kids with evos and sti"s who think your car is stock look like their standing still.ive even walked a few vipers and let me tell you the owners were pissed.

Great to hear everything is going good. I didn't make it by during the tuning that day, but heard it went great. I have been planning to take the LT1 to the track soon, but the 10 bolt let out yesterday while playing around with another STS TA we were working on. Maybe we'll set up a day we can all make it out there. I know the TA is down to go too.

Luckily the wifey drives an Infiniti FX35. If not, I'd have to strap the kid to a roof or something!!
