dont think sts has a twin turbo kit and personally, the procharger kit is more appealing

most advise to stay away from SLP headers because of clearance issues, look at Kooks or QTP for headers.

dont forget to get a lid if you dont already have one and a good catback

STS sells single rear-mounted turbos, not twin-turbo.

On the head and cam package; make sure it is a low compression, negative overlap package make for forced induction.

Stay away from SLP headers. They hang too low.
