STS already posted a thread about this a while back. They said to visit this link to another forum and vote, the most votes to a car would mean that would be the first car they completed. All the cars in the poll are going to get a turbo kit from them, just the one with the most votes got to be done first.

Are talking a single turbo or Twin turbo?
Also, it has to be cheaper then the other Turbo kits.

I believe it's a single turbo.

I'm still wondering how well it works.

i prefer companies who cater to the import scene specifically, i dunno why.

They say that this system can create ~5 PSI of boost and can be installled in just a few hours with normal tools. How is that possible considering that a GReddy TT kit requires an engine mgmt component and larger injectors for even just 5.6 PSI. The wiring/injector install alone make this more than a minor job that isn't as "reversible" as they claim. I think that when my multi-thousand dollar engine is what's at stake, I'll stick to the proven technologies. It'll be interesting to see what comes of this though.

I can see it having a alot of benefits, like keeping the engine bay temps down, but I'm not really sold on it.

if you think about it, the engine bay will look practically stock, since you are keeping the stock manifolds, the turbo is mounted by the exhaust. The only thing that you might see is the intake pipe coming from below into the plenum, which will look like a cold air intake system.

no one will really know until someone install one into their car. it would be nice to see them make at least one kit and display it on a car before we all just shoot the idea down.

If you watch Speedvision, the show Two Guys Garage installed the STS Turbo. I would have to wonder if they've ever installed it on a car as low as the 350Z.

AS an owner of a Chevy truck, this seems practical, simple because of the space under the vehicle. And I like nothing more than blowing the Civic Rice Pack's doors off, but, I think under a vehicle like the Z, there wouldn't be enough clearance. I'd hate to hit a bump and see the turbo rolling down the road in my rearview mirror!

As a former Fbody owner I have knowledge of a couple of guys in the Dallas area who have had these installed on their cars. Results have been mixed. One guy here got all the parts together and built his own for aboit 1/2 the price.

So, if it's a New Age turbo, does it come with bad music and self-help books?
