The STS Turbo kits have gotten a lot of **** over the years and there are some guys/gals running the STS kits that are happy.

Over the years the STS kits have been revised and revamped. Their scavenger pumps are now heavy duty and handmade in Italy. The turbos are no longer "imported" turbos but turbos made here in the US from a well known company in California. These are complete ready to go kits. Some kits are "tuner" kits which do not come with the DiabloSport tuning or the injectors for those who want to use different sized injectors and do custom tuning in case they are running a different cam, headers, heads, etc.

That is correct. If you have to ask this question, keep the car the way it is or pay what you have to pay to get it done right the first time.

With a mild 5-7 lbs boost you would be at about 475, 7 or more should put you at 500 plus RWHP.

Yeah, depending on the tuning, on what dyno, miles on motor, what cam, what heads, what tranny, etc. etc. etc.

Assuming stock LS1 with headers and good dyno tune. Manual trans.

You are right about type of dyno and miles on motor.

This is similar to A&A site numbers.
