Hey everyone. To all who know yes I am new here and don't know where to post this so I'm just going to ask here.

First I need some info, From mobile,al and need someone that I can TRUST to tune my truck. Yeah I've got the STS tune but I don't really like it and in driving, It just seems generic.

Also with a rear mount turbo I seem to have a water problem when it rains. The only thing that I have done to help this is I have drilled and tapped 2 holes in the bottom of the intercooler so when it rains, the water blows out. It isn't 100 percent effective but it is working better than the alternative.

Any suggestions on either of these problems, I would greatly appreciate it.

 

Welcome to the forum.
I would think popping holes into the intercooler not a good idea....bump for ya!

 

as far as the water goes, check into a snorkel system. I believe STS sells them.

 

Well the holes are tapped when the water is gone I have special plugs that screw back into it to re-seal the system. The snorkel that came with it is about 5 ft and locates the air filter above the right rear tire behind the skin in the hollow area above the tire but it is still drawing water.

modify it and make it a front mount turbo I think at least one guy on here have done that and it's even working better.

 

Well that sounds awesome Any pics or know the person who did it so I can talk to them that would be awesome. Right now its fine as long as it doesnt rain. The drain on the intercooler works but I get tired of taking the plug out when it is raining and re-taping it and putting it back in when it isn't. I would love to front mount it. WOW this cold weather hit and this thing has really come to life. Thanks for the help.

 

Hey man..
The first week i had the STS it rained and waterlogged the filter... didnt even drive it.. .haha holes in the bed drained water straight onto the filter....

Well i was in a hurry and rigged this..





Its not pretty but i dont have any more problems... i even put a K&N sock on there and no problems at all... i even hit the big water holes now just for fun... never found a drop of water in the cold side piping..
