A turbo install is a big job. The STS is probably the easiest. Still a big job. Not like just changing mufflers....

It is a big job,but the best bang for the buck,not out of the question to get 600rwhp with a APS kit on a bone stock motor.

Keep the boost resonable (less than 7psi) and a stock motor will be fine.

There are several guys in that section running turbos on their basically stock long blocks.
