i think sts kit is a nice kit to learn about turbos imo, then after a couple months u go to a real turbo kit

if you keep it at 8-9 psi with intercooler, dyno tune, 60 lbs injectors, 255 walbro fuel pump, 918 springs *or prc*, chromoly pushrods, ls2 timing chain and ported ls6 oil pump ull be very fun and kicking a lot of ***!!! Oh make sure ur exhaust is 2.5'' so it will spool up quickly and delete the cats or u can run into problems.

if you do a 408 get a T76 if just 347 then go with GT67

stop with the 60lb injectors people please! not everyone who goes Forced induction needs 60lb injectors. too many people that just say oh crap i need 60lb injectors cuz he said so and i'm going to be making 500hp... so they go out and then get ******** in the **** when they plug em in and you run rich as crap at idle.

98 injectors will not be sufficient as far as i know. I was up at 89% duty cycle on my 01 car and i went to 42#ers and i'm at 67% now at current power in sig @5psi

as far as what is needed with a turbo kit... think about it... what do you need to add if you are adding a turbo to your car... replace all that is questioned with new better parts and you are good. the search will help here also, and I'm not trying to be an ***, its just this is everywhere.

and a real turbo kit.... ha, i would gladly find the fast STS guy on here and let him get to ya....cuz he ain't slow at all
