STS Turbocharger system

[KenshinZero]

Anybody herd of them, I have been looking into this since I saw a Acion Tc with there rear mounted system (I belive it was in Modafied Mag). All there setups are rear mounted, and aparently do work, and dispite my logic, there is minimal lag.
Here is the link to there site:
http://www.ststurbo.com/
They sell a "Universal Kit" I have seen it installed on a Ford Lightning truck along with a few other mods, and supposidly they tuned it to get about 400hp, they have a video as well as others on there site.

Neat, watched that also, looks like a good deal to me, i need to see how much the Universal kit is though...

[KenshinZero]

I thknk its a little over $1k, I know it says on the site someplace

1450.... not bad though, comes with everything, and there are tuning options readily available

lol... let us know, and post a how to

[surreal_awakening]

I think someone on GAGT.com was doing a remote mounted turbo on a GA

i thought we didn't have enough room for the return line on the turbo... i vaguely remember hearing how these are a decent idea, but not functional for us.

It's all very custom, and does not come with everything you need.

If you want to turbocharge, do it the normal way and save money and time lol.

This is probably the most prescient comment in the entire thread.

These actually don't work all that well. I've seen one on a Trans AM at the tuning shop. It does make power but you have to have the right parts to get the most out of it. The guy wanted 600 hp but the setup would only allow 500 at best if lucky. Like ION said do it the normal way.

^^Those were installed much better then the one I saw. I believe one of the complaints was it was laggy for obvious reasons, I don't recall the other issue with the system.

I saw one on a Camaro SS when I was driving once. It was really quick and sounded absolutely amazing!

if you searched you would have seen the sts kit has been discussed several time over and over again, do a little research pleast, oh and i know a guy with a gtp, that had a sts remote for a twin-charged setup.....pretty BA

I did search, I geuss I failed. lol

I was mostly looking into a way to mount a turbo in a diffrent location, other than behind the engine. I figured if one was mounted @ the back of the car, then you could possably mount a turbo in the fender. It looks like there is plenty of room, it would probably be a PITA and there would be driling required, but I think it would work out well. It would keep engine and intake temps down a bit, and if you opt for vented fenders, would allow for extra cooling for the turbo. I think the benafits would outweaigh the work involved.

why has noone tried this concept on the alero?

i think theres more room under the hood then in between the gas tank and the muffler

Usually with a STS turbo setup, there is no muffler.

true...
