TRT gives me good deals because i bring them tons of customers

that would equal you and the sky meeting each other about halfway down the track ..... 700hp would be insane at the track

After 10 pages it seems to me like you have a turbo with nothing around it to support it - I mean you have a turbo and a stock clutch for now - granted new clutch on the way

But, you get your new clutch then when your back end breaks and you save up for another year you can get your 12 bolt - then when you think your set, have fun replacing more stuff because you spent the money on a turbo instead of setting up everything else first

You see why sts turbo guys get so much hate - Theres only a few that get them and have done them right

Seems to me your only a street guy with the same amount of intelligence

No offense I just think this Nick guy and others talk more sense (experience)

it made more sense to me to be careful now with the STS kit and upgrade the surrounding parts later..... my car could be making mid 550rwhp with a $90 fix...... but whats the breaking point on #7 piston with boost...... around 550rwhp

you have a very interesting reply. you can break a stock clutch at any given amount of power...... my stock clutch lasted with 470rwhp for almost 1 year...... the factory says it shouldnt last over 400rwhp....... but mine lasted with 470. it also lasted at 500rwhp for 2 weekend with about 8 or 9 races on the highway....... and the minuet i bolted on the turbo, i made over 500rwtq every dyno pull

STS has nothing to do with how i set up my car. seeing as you are a member that hasnt realy posted that much on tech, look in the Forced Induction section and you will see other people with front mount turbos making less than me(given they dont have a built motor). I dont know why people claim the STS kit doesnt do anything for you, because i've seen people strap a procharger on their stock motor and make within 10rwhp from my stock STS results...... and my car ran more efficiently.

power is power my friend..... the only difference is how you get it. ANY one can spend 1k and get a N20 kit and be bad *** on the bottle....... but thats only when its full. my fitrst tune was $600, that hurt my bank for a good bit, but i needed to have it. turbos are expensive but VERY cool when you set them up

There is no such thing as a fast STS car, with the STS setup you are limited to 12 second 1/4's. 500,600,700rwhp doesn't matter if you made it with STS!

Ah yes, but according to STS owners, the 1320 is pointless

A real racer races from a roll
