I can only imagine how difficult it would be to have you as a customer, if you communicated anything like you have in this thread. You might try asking for some punctuation and a shift key for Christmas 
Learn to type...
As str8 mentioned, clocking the turbo has zero to do with the oiled portion of the turbo. If the turbo was brand new, there is zero reason why STS or your installer would have messed with the portion of the turbo that oil goes through other than the feed and drain fittings.

long lead times = terrible customer service? HAHA get real. If that was the case no one would be in business..
as to the housing bolt being tight, thats 100% on the installer. You ALWAYS have to adjust the clocking of the housings to match the exhaust manifold and the charge pipe.
But like I said, loose housing bolts have nothing to do with oil loss. My wager still stands he had OC problems and didnt pull his dipstick once since 2008.

Did you have the car tuned after the kit was installed?? On a dyno?? That is the question at hand.

These types of posts depress me. Shows me the type of people now able to get into these cars. I truly am "n2deepnot2keep" This joker probably bought a high milage, beat to **** Z for 8 grand and threw this turbo kit on it for a few more grand and blames STS for the problems.
Get real kid
Get real kid
i spent 8 grand with install and tune just 2 have it blow up 1000 QUICK miles later. now with major discounts from my tuner, i am fully built...eagle rods,.20 over wiesco pistons,jwt c2 cams,cryo treated crank,clutchmasters stage 5 clutch,700cc inj,titanium vaulves and stiffer springs,sleeved cylinders,ect...
all this and more with free labor and dyno tunning sets me back another 8900.oh,i payed 18k for my z, try 2 find one in 08 for 8k. glad u figuered out wat type of guy i am ...jerk!

OP, sorry to hear about your situation, but you join here to bash a company and communicate that way and that's the response you'll get. And just because your 42 doesn't mean not a kid. Personally I'm a 33 year old kid.

i actually started laughing out loud!!! I hate the losers that chirp about spelling and punctuation....but you should be to able to type at a 5th grade level if you are hanging out in chat forums.
I am so lost here could someone explain this to me, two of the posters in the thread are the same guy
He had a river of oil coming out the tail pipe of his car but kept driving it until the motor blew then blamed STS for building a poor kit. Sorry to hear about the blown engine , I am just having a hard time figuring out what the problem is/was with the way it was written.

this kid is 42. i bought my 04 350z in 08 with 34k on it from a middle couple from az ( wifes car)

hey, good luck with that sleeved block. Bet you're going to love that STS on that built motor.....
this jerk is thinking you might wanted to have spent a bit more time on this forum before you decided on the STS kit. And then again before you had this shop put this motor together for you.... but at 42 you must have it all figured out, I mean you did pay 18 grand for your Z and you have titanium "vaulves"
Wow, are you sure you didn't instal the kit yourself? I see a direct correlation to your spelling/grammar and the end result of your engine. Geeze.
I agree with the rest, unfortunately it seems like you brought all this on yourself. Or could have at least prevented most of it.
GL on your next 9 grand build.
