You obviously have a personal problem with the STS system as I have seen you do nothing but bash them (and other power adders) in many other threads. I have been in a truck with a TVS runnning 8 psi and another truck with the STS running 6psi. The STS truck was hands down, no questions asked faster.

I love my remote mount system! I haven't had any problems with the oiling system or any other part of the system for that matter.

And we have a winner. I like all forms of FI, but prefer turbo. BC is a roots man.

He also had an oil pump failure that toasted an engine, COULD have something to do with his dislike for rear mount. He only mentioned going front mount turbo if someone was going turbo.

I had a pump failure also, but killed the engine when the buzzer went off. After that I carried an extra pump in the truck. The sts kit far exceeded my expectations. When I got it I was looking for a high 12 to possibly a mid 12 sec truck. Did that on street tires. Traded the street tires for slicks and went 11.35.
Completely satisfied with the rear mount. Stepped up to a custom front mount to go faster.
