Turbo install

I AM CONSIDERING AN STS TURBO FOR MY 2000 VERT.

Do they spool quicker than a super charger at low RPM's?

Can anyone suggest a "shop" that can do the install on the east coast?

Any comments would be appreciated; thank you.

Go to the STS site, lag is not an issue. The only think I would ever be concerned about is if a Cat ever threw out a chunk of catalyst and a turbo at it.

Spool isn't an issue when sized correctly. the rear mount system works.
It all comes down to your power goal and what youre willing to sacrifice

I have an STS setup. There is a small amount of lag compared to a blower but phenomenal torque when they hit. Plus the turbos sound really nice spooling up.
Wrapping the exhaust helps a bit.
