Re: Thinking of adding A STS rear TURBO
my opinion for forced induction on these engines is go big or go home. i would only put turbos on after i built up the bottom end. ive just never felt it was worth all the time and effort if you arent going to run forged components and low compression, look into nitrous maybe, but hey its your engine
EDIT: i just noticed that you seem to enjoy the looks aspect in modding more than alot of us so it dawned on me maybe you want the novelty of a turbo as well as the performance. in that case, i think the rear turbo is probably one of the best choices. real simple installation and you get that sound, the bragging rights of a turbo v8, and the power.

Seems like it would help maximize the turbo as our intakes are set up to take a 52mm with no porting or different gasket.
Chek the following link out. They put an STS on a big cubed LS1 and made 755rwhp/815rwtq.

You need to search in the forced induction section, not the LT1 tech section. I guarantee your question has been answered in that forum on more than one occasion. If you cant find the info in there then you're doing something wrong
