Oh.
Hello, I think STS is just fine, uh, they are O.K., that is, uh....
It never ceases to amaze me that there are so many STS lurkers around, who have nothing better to do than to search for every STS thread that pops up. Then they consider it their civic duty to jump in, and, completely off the actual subject of the thread (this one concerned the heat output near the gas tank) and instead slam STS and say "dude don't buy sts..."
He did not ask you whether or not it was a wise decision to buy STS or not.
STFU.
He asked whether the heat near the gas tank was an issue. If you can contribute to that, fantastic. If not, leave the fu..ing thread.
Rant over.

Only reason that Paul Major's turbo is in the rear is because there is no way to fit a 106mm in the front of a corvette.

IMO after owning one it has its ups and downs... I really liked the kit with the exception of the oiling. I eventually fixed it with a restricter and braided lines to the front but before that it kinda burnt me out cleaning it all the time..
Now im going to the APS kit and not looking back.
It was fun though.

Is anyone out there with an STS kit able to provide an installation manual "pdf" file or "other" for review.
Our LS? Astro van install has encountered several engineering snags and are now considering other options.
This is a pure fact finding mission - Can you help...................Thanks

I like the STS kit. just installed mine few weeks back. makes good power at 8Psi.
i ran my oil pump for three minutes dry like the instructions said, and it is very quiet. as for the turbo near the tank, I don't even have the heat shield on mine, No problems.

I like my STS kit.
Would I rather have twin under hood or something, yeah... But I can't afford something like that. This kit does make some power though.
This brings up the question, what's the most power made to the wheels from someone using the STS kit, anyone?
Every STS thread turns into this ****.
