Default STS turbo question

I am wanting to put a sts kit on my car but I was looking in parts for sale and there's quiet a few of these kits in there for sale. So does anyone have any input on these as to whether they're a good kit to go with or not? Is there alot of trouble out of them?

Honestly, if you just flip through the first five pages of topics in this forum I think you will find all the info you need. There is just too much info to cover on a topic that has been gone over a short time ago.
Good luck.

i wonder if anyone has had an issue with the turbo being stolen since all you would need to do is launder the car with a few hand tools

My car sits 10 feet away from the bedroom window so whoever wants to try that will catch a few rounds in the head...
