Default STS Turbo Manufacturing has closed! Business up for Auction!

I have no affiliation with STS Turbo other than being a customer/consumer. I own a 2001 Corvette Z06 with their Base Twin Turbo kit. I made attempts last week to contact them about ordering some upgrade parts and received no response. I began to notice other customers posting on sites like F.B. , to their message boards, who had the same problems in contacting them. I did a search on Google and this is what I had discovered.

http://www.statewideauctionco.com/st...o-auction.html

The business has been closed and put up for auction through the STATEWIDE AUCTION COMPANY, Utah. No other information has been listed as to why or what had happened to their company other than the entire business, equipment and US PATENTS are being auctioned off on APRIL 21st, 10:00AM, OREM, UTAH.

As an owner/customer of their Twin Turbo kit, I have enjoyed the set-up since 2010 when I had purchased it and it has been solid. I am writing this simply to pass on the information I was able to discover.

UPDATE

***Check out www.squiresperformance.com *** Mr. Squires wrote an explanation of what had become of the old STS Turbo business. Also STS Turbo will be back! Great news and as an owner and customer I wish him a successful restructure.

That sucks. I LOVE my kit. Have been running it for years.
I wonder who purchased the Patents...

Default Bad news/Good news



I'm currently on vacation and just doing some web surfing and getting caught up on lots of hobbies, including my Vett. I Installed the STS system in my '04 back in mid 2011. Once we dialed it in it has been rock solid ever since. Every time I take the car out I get at least from somebody and often get the question "Hey is that thing supercharged or what?" The twins give off a distinctive wine behind the car and folks take note.

Good news to hear that Squire will be taking over and will hopefully be able to provide future support if needed.
