Hey everyone, Happy New Year! I'm just curious if anyone has an experience with the STS Single Turbo Kit? Its something new from what everyone has... Just wanted to know if its worth the price or the effort of caring for it? Thanks

Don't have "experience" with them, but have seen them before.
My personal opinion, it was a relatively good idea that didn't quite pan out.
Way too much piping for my liking. Also not perticularly fond of the turbos being where they will get water, road grime, trash, etc. in them. But that's just me. Plus they seem to produce less power for the same psi as other kits.

On the up side, they are cheaper than other kits because they they don't have the popularity of other kits.

Did the twin kit install for a MM&FF magazine article. It was the biggest pain in the a$$ but we made it work very nice. The install had to be completly redone from what STS had us do but we did speak with them every step of the way and told them what we thought should be done or used and they did seem like they were interested in what we had to say. However the install took two weeks due the complete re engineering of the kit. The car did make over 470 HP on only 7 psi boost but when the owner decided to take it to 13 psi with out letting us know it scattered the block!
