Question Turbo Help?

I'm thinking about putting a turbo in my truck. Was looking at an STS but it looks kinda expensive. Anyone have any advice for what to look for in a turbo?

There's some guys on the board that have taken the sts into some great numbers. Really kinda depends on what you want to do with the truck as a whole. I'd say for a good all around 11-12 second truck, the sts will more than fit the bill in your application. I'm almost 100% sure that's the route I'm going to take with the camaro.

Thanks, talkin with my buddy and I might just get a nitrous kit. I will probably only run the truck a couple times a month or so at the track so what I'm using it for, spending that much is not really what I need...
