So Tom, how's your turbo car coming along? Oh wait, your turbo is on your diesel and you didn't design it? You don't have a turbo car? oh, so you must work for a turbo company. Or design the systems. Oh, you work in IT and NOT deisgning turbos? You mean you're NOT an engineer? I see

Actually, my turbo project is coming along very nicely. E36 M3 with a single GT35.

Great peak dyno numbers, poor track times. And keep one thing in mind about reading STS' website.. they're trying to sell turbo kits.... many people have already pointed out how biased that website is....
And yes, there is a GTO that is quick with the STS kit. and oh yeah, a full size truck that is quick for it's power levels.

I had Jason Debler re-set my post count several times. I had well over 15,000 the first time it was re-set.

Re: guaging interest:sts turbo set-up
I am very confused...why is there so much hate on the STS kit. I am still tweaking mine, and I'm having some valve float issues, but you cannot argue the fact that the car makes seious power. There are a couple of people that are bashing the kit in this thread, and it made me wonder, have any of you ridden in a car with a STS kit? Hopefully I'll have my bugs squared away soon, and the I'll be running almost as well as some of the others out there. Like the 10 second GTO...but wait this kit can't make power so that must be a lie too.

Re: guaging interest:sts turbo set-up
Hmm.. this rear mount stuff is looking really really appealing. Hell, if it works it works, and it supposidly doesn't need an intercooler, although i might run one anyways just for the added cooling. I'm been planning a t70 setup in my truck for a while, but its going to be a bitch running all the piping under the hood. I think i'm going to go this route when i get the money

Re: guaging interest:sts turbo set-up
If you plan on running anything higher than 5 psi, you are going to need some sort of cooling. Whether it's an IC or methanol injection. But it does work.
