Default Twin Turbo (STS) Install on 2007 LS2 C6

For those that don’t know, the STS turbo system is described as a “remote mount” system. In plain English, it means it’s mounted in the rear of the car. The theory being that it will be cooler back there and keep underhood temperatures down.
Here’s a look at some install pictures. I’ll post the finished product later along with a video of the sound coming out the rear which sounds a bit like a jet engine.

The butt mounted hair dryers is a great innovation. Can't wait to see how yours turns out. I'm betting it will be awesome

I am interested to see how you like the STS. I was really close on pulling the trigger on one last year, but didn't. Good luck.

I purchased them in November, received the kit early December, then got snowed in and unable to move the Vette for a month.

In January, when the snow melted, I had the body work completed and paint blended for the wide booty.

It went into the shop for the TT last week and is waiting for the "tune" to be worked out right now.
