ST is not bad but soon after you will want more HP single turbo just does no give to you. I wish I would have gone twins at the time. I have just sold my TN kit, but do not get me wrong it was fun for the time.

for me, it wasn't even about getting more HP. as soon as I installed the kit, I was thinking of ways to make it better and lessen the exhaust resctrictions between the heads and the turbo. The turbo is good; the intercooler is good,, and the pressure pipes are good, but I wan't crazy about how they designed the hot piping. Ask Jeremy at Performance Factory.........I was bouncing ideas off of him about running a dual wastegate setup.....keeping the TN one in its loaction, and adding another one on the passenger side crossover pipes to be able to relieve the congestion of exhaust gas pumping to the turbo. I was almost about to purchase JetPilot's old TN wastegate to accomplish it. My other idea was to run the kit off of only the driver's side cylinderss.. Sure, it would delay the response of the turbo, but it might also allow the engine to extend it powerband back to normal.

Stock motor no, I had no regrets withthe TN kit, when I blew the stock motor after 3000 miles, I knew I couldnt live with spending so much money on a build for weaksauce power levels. The thing was I believed I could keep the stock block in tact with my (good!) set-up, I should have known Id blow it eventually and I should have done twins off the bat.
