Default STS Twin Turbo

I was wondering if anybody has done the sts twin turbo system? They are somewhat cheap and it looks like a quality product i just want opinions from someone that has done it. What is the total after install? Any reliability issues?

Yup and Good price, great product, great service

ECS is a dealer and has done some great work with it for me, their are a few of us on the forum, i think the highest is over 800 HP on a 402 motor

you are local relatively speaking to the STS guys, you should contact them directly they can give you direction or look at one od the many forum vendors on the boad here, carteck made a nasty single turbo car in conjunction with STS, take a look in the FI nitrous section

I love mine. It was an easy install and it is still going strong after a year of abuse. I'm about to throw some giggly on it cuz I'm getting board now. Install pics here.

Surprisingly it doesn't do to bad. Tires usually break around the 120 mph mark but do pretty good off the line.

I just cant get past the $9,000 price tag. This is the only reason I'm going to go with the ECS system. I just dont see the TT setup being worth 10,000 installed.

$697.00 for 42# fuel injectors

$300.00 for blow off valve

$560.00 for a AEM wide band gauge (these retail for what 250.00?)

$599.00 for a predator tune

All this is needed on top of the $8,900 for the standard C6 kit.


No wonder you see two or three guys with their system.

$700 for injectors?

You seriously need to shop around some more before making a decision.

I'm making a point about STS. Thats what THEY charge for injectors when you add them onto their C6 "kit".

Hell ECS gives you injectors with their kit
