I've always been partial to the Procharger. But lately i've been looking into the STS, there might be some validity to all the hype.

i personally dont really like either, i think the procharger is soft of torque, but i hate the lag, and the sound of a high powered sts car, IMO, so i voted procharger, i think there is more power potential in the procharger system. now front mount turbo set-up is a totally different story altogether

well after all the trouble i have been through with this STS kit, i'm wishin i would have went a different route.... but some people have had good luck with it also. just do research for about 3 months, then make your decision!! there is a lot of money involved!!!

I'd opt for a Procharger over an STS...

BY FAR

Of course, Front mount turbo > *

Procharger seems to be the most reliable, installed 8-12 hours + a tune and you're looking at 450-500rwhp easy.

seems like a good route to go for that kind of money.

sts is junk. Plus do you really want a rear-mounted turbo? Thats rhetorical by the way. Procharger is def the way to be. Also the sts sounds like ****..Even listen to their commerical with the viper/vette. Procharger man, trust me

I would not put an STS on my car if u gave it to me..I would sell it and buy a Procharger...I still cannot believe people stick those on the back, underneath, and can drive around not looking at every bump and incline...CRAZY MAN, CRAZY... ..[You know my vote]

speaking from very VERY personal experience with STS(as a company).. i have seen 1st hand what components they use, how they make it, what works, what doesnt, and quality... STS is the worst thing you can do to your car..
