Is STS Rear mount turbo system the best Forced Induction system around for the LSx motor? It looks so simple, yet provides massive gains. Thanks!

Truthfully, it all depends on what you goals are and most of all, your budget...

Yeah that's my other choice/option. Still trying to decide. I like the idea of converting back to stock in minutes.

Does Procharger have a bypass valve?
Does your Miles per gallon increase with Procharger?

My miles per gallon have not decreased and my tune is not complete. And yes it comes with a bypass valve.

To answer your two questions, yes and it all depends on how heavy of a foot that you have.

If you want a really simple FI setup with little to now problems and an easy install go with the procharger setup. You wont regret it.

Honestly, with a join date of 2004, I would think you had seen every STS thread, ever.

Cheap? No...not if you want the car to go fast. FI and cheap are not good in a sentence together.

I only chose the turbo route over the procharger because of the sound... and that if you have the fabbing skills you can put one together fairly affordable.

There are many threads on the advantages and disadvantages of many turbo and supercharger kits here. Please do a little research before asking 'which is the best FI kit for the LSx motor.' You will only get opinions and not much real info.
