ummm...you forgot to add something deragatory like, I'm gay, queer, stupid...I think that's your favorite part!

My truck is going on 3 years with a Turbo and I have put right around 35,000 miles on that Turbo system with no problems (50,000 miles on the truck total)... I don't count destroying the transmission as a "problem", just a needed upgrade with any FI upgrade...

Do I like the turbo system, yes...the power over the blower is better....Do I like driving it, sure its fun....simply because I have never owned one. Do I miss the low end of the Radix, Yes. I am luckier than some because I have had the opportunity to drive/own both on the same vehicle.
Again, I don't "hate the STS" I just do not like the lack of bottom end power, I NEVER said that the STS was the BEST.
Hope that clears up the confusion.

Thats cool I respect your oppinion.
Thats why I went with the front mount. The STS kit has a long way to travel I believe thats where the low end power has been lost. My new setup makes boost pretty much instantly. I am more than pleased with the Low end power the Trick setup makes. And with the coated pipes my under hood temps seem pretty much stock.
