don't lower your car, squishing a charge pipe from bottoming out will be bad.

I was thinking the same way was you. You have to watch out for pot holes and stuff in the middle of the road.

Where is the turbo going to be place under the car? Are you letting the muffler shop decide on that?

STS turbo is a universal turbo kit that goes on to the end of your exhaust and your sent the piping back to the engine bay, this turbo system is really designed for v-8 engine or bigger that dont have much room in there engine bay to hold a front mount turbo, ive seen the sts turbo on tv it sounds really nice, but i would just go get a kit that is already made for the tc ZPI, GREDDY, dezod, turbonetics whatever u like, becuase the piping it already done for you, and i dont think the sts comes with a fuel system but i could be wrong

Ive put together an STS system on paper and it worked out to be cheap and not too complicated. Turbo would basically be where the muffler is which isnt a tight spot at all. My only problem was running the charge pipe and there is no good place to tuck it. Especially if your car is lowered. Maybe you could run it through the car? lol

sts' are retarded. I hope you don't like your turbo, cause I know like 20 people who have had their turbo cut off with a sawsall. oh dont drive it in the rain at all, cause 1500F temps in a puddle of water..... good bye turbo.

i don't like it cause there is unneeded things that just cause more potential problems. Oil pumps could fail.... bye turbo. Also, how wide open the turbo is to road debris and weather. Not my cup of tea

Damn that sucks.... guess Im gonna have to do it. Do you guys think you could have a seperate "tank" of oil for the turbo mounted somewhere in the trunk? I know you'll need an oil pump(which I have already found) for this either way you go but I figure it might be safer this way instead of having oil lines run all the way to the back of the car.
