Part of what makes it unique is its rear mounting. There are a couple of manufacturers of under-the-hood turbos if you want to go that way, Combination Motorsports in Vegas being one, though I'm not sure they're completely done with their kit yet.

Yeah, makes the exchange of info/opinions a greater degree of success.
BTW folks, I really like the idea of a STS kit, I'd like to see how one works on an engine with a radix though,............NakedAV?

I gotta say .. this has been a very civilized and productive thread. There have been some excellent points made. Makes me glad to know this is 'home'. 
Here's one for all of you!

Someone should try putting the turbo at the Y-pipe and weld a wastegate pipe off of the Y. I think I could make that kit in about 2 hours It seems like it would get better throttle response than the STS kit, and you could keep the headers you may have already installed on the engine. (of course a standard header manifold setup is best, I believe. But what I just mentioned seems sooo easy)
BTW: Twin Screw blowers build boost the quickest!
