just a few pics. i know how everyone like pics!...LOL.... the turbo lag is no more than any other turbo kit we do, all you need to do is wrap your exhaust, not all of it, but most of it and that keeps the lag to a min.!!! also we run turbo blankets!

james,
The turbos are TINY!
Sure, you can go bigger, but then lag becomes TERRIBLE.
$9K for an STS kit is an absolute joke. If you are about to drop $9K on a turbo kit, then call George or spend a LITTLE more for an APS kit. APS has Christmas pricing that's pretty sporty right now....
If you plan to make real power and want a really well-thought out kit, then you don't an STS kit. Please reconsider your decision.

In this image it's apparent that your meth injection isn't going to work (if indeed that is the MAF sensor downstream of the meth injection nozzles).
You either need to relo the MAF sensor or the meth injection nozzles. The MAF sensor has to be before the meth nozzles.
If left like this the car will pop, backfire, and lose power when the meth turns on.
Just thought I'd try to help you out.

also here is another product which could be made to work with the STS system to give very fast spool (would require twin scroll trubos)

That sound performance valve is extremely overpriced. $1000 for 2 of them is just absurd. I have had this idea long before they did and I am making a couple for myself. If a few guys, like 4 or so, wanted to try them I am sure they could contract out the parts to a cnc shop and still make them for less than a $1000 a pair, I guess if you have a single maybe its justifiable, maybe. But then again I am a cnc machinist and I know how to keep cost down and production up.
