How to prep a engine for a turbo
So I have straight piped my 04' Zo6 as well as given it a cold air intake. Lets say I want to install a turbo (STS TURBO REMOTE MOUNTED TWIN TURBO SYSTEM & FUEL INJECTORS WITHOUT HAND-HELD - ]Link) What would i need to do to my otherwise stock engine....I don't want to compromise quality for a cheaper price but the less expensive the better yet not necessary.

Nothing, that's the beauty of an STS system you never have to break into the eng. Your CAI and straight piping are a total waste of time, it's all covered with the system. A word of warning, without a tune you'll scatter your engine!

STS turbos take the place of your mufflers, Intake is by taillights. Your linked kit appears to be missing piping from rear to intercooler. Suggest you match parts list with video, you'll see two long pipes in video, between front and rear tires, that aren't in the parts list.
