Default STS turbo

Does anyone know what model Garret turbo STS uses on their LS1 Kit?
I think I can build my own for a lot less than $4k.
Thanks

look in the forced induction section, lots of talk about it there...

do some searching though, the popularity seems to have died off somewhat

of course you could make one for cheaper..but it wouldn't get done at al fast. and if your not actually making the pipes...there is gonna be a lot of trial and error to see what fits...which will cost a lot in labor. when you pay 4k...you pay for the convience of being pretty much able to bolt it right up.

Not to mention paying for the name.

The base kit comes with the GT60-1, when I ordered my kit I requested the upgrade (GT67), because I knew one day I would up the boost.
Hope this helps.

It looks and sounds easy to build, trust me... unless you have mad welding skills and electrical knowledge for the oil pumps, selonoids, pressure sensors, alarm buzzer and boost reference to turn up oil pump speeds...its gonna be hard. I know it looks easy.. but a properly operating kit is really the way to go if you choose a rearmount .
