STS rear mount turbo

just curious if anybody in Norcal has the STS system in their G or Z.

I REEEAAALLY want to get this kit and i'm like 95% set on getting it, but i would like to see and hear what it sounds like in person.

haha yeah they finally released it to the public several months ago. still not alot of interest in them, though. they also don't have any G specific kits (only z) so some extra modification will be necessary to fit our cars.

i wouldn't really recommend this turbo kit, because the turbo underneath will always be in moisture, and what if theres rain, you will be scared to go anywhere so that you wouldnt go into any puddle, also if your car is low or you are planning to go lowered, think about how scared you would be to go on the bumps, lol,

This all is just my opinion,

i personally planning of going FI, but i will never go with this setup,

A buddy of mine had one on his Chevy Silverado. He had the setup running about 550 whp with supporting mods. That was one fast truck.

noted.

the whole moisture argument has ran it's course on the my350z FI forums and it has turned out to be a non issue. Also, the piping won't sit any lower than my current exhaust system. my car is lowered ALOT but i never scrape it, EVER. but thank you for your concern. i already bought the kit though so there's no way out of it now.
