STS Turbo

How well does this work?
cost?
How will it affect gas mileage?
The idea of having a turbo that most people don't see is really appealing to me, and I've heard it has good gains.

Costs is $3995 for the base kit. I think a lot that have gone with it, also have upgraded the size of the turbo which costs $500-800 more. You will need bigger injectors, more than likely. Figure $300-$400 for that. If you do more mods, you may also need another fuel pump, like an inline, which cost $150-$250. Then comes tuning. Add another $250-$500, depending on who does your tuning. Or, you can do your own tuning for $500-600 for the software.

I tried pushing my system a lil too hard and I think I blew a head gasket. I'll know here shortly.
Whne it gets fixed I'll be trying out a pretty big turbo and see how it affects power and lag so people buying in the future will have more choices.
Even the way it sat I would still be happy with. I have sooo much power under the curve it ain't funny. Have power down low is cool and all but it aint the fastest way to the end of the 1/4mile. I make over 400rwhp from 4k to 6.7K RPM.
Click link in sig for dyno sheet. Hopefully the new turbo will help my HP line keep climbing.
