STS Turbocharger system
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.

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.

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!
