correct he is. then you get the spark plugs. . eh ok thats only 20 bucks. then it turns into maybe I should get a methanol injection system yeah thats good! then well you want to make sure you motor can handle it so you get the 918 valve springs with some harden push rods. Wait! now I really want to turn it up! need to get some 42# injectors! well I want to monitor all of this now so I need a wide band gauge, boost gauge and I wanna be able to control it all so I better get a boost controller. Well I want to get that air really cold better get a intercooler as well. Hmmm wait what happened to the $3995.00 turbo?

Got it love it but had an problem with oil getting into the charge pipe at the turbo. Called STS and they took care of the problem right away. But yes 918's and hardened push rods are a must and good tuning.

Like mine but Ive been constantly dumping money in it on car upgrades now. I did have one problem were the couplers for the piping decided to blow apart while at triple digit speeds under full boost. I was unable to determine if it was a part or install failure though. Called STS after and they sent the new piping to me next day. Cant beat there customer service.

I enjoy running away from cobras, supras, soup rice burners and vipers i enjoy the sound the power and just plain out running the comp, A good tune and cam heads man you will have a beast turbo lag little to non on a 40 mph roll and by the time that weak cobra super charger starts to make power your shifting to 4th!!!!
