STS Turbo Install Video

Here's the install video that was on Horsepower TV for those that missed it.

The audio is a little bit off in the second one though. Each are about 4 minutes in length.

Part 2

This will be in the FI section as well

Has anyone had this turbo kit installed on their vette? I am wondering what long term reliability issues are.

That video and the resulting cars sound/power is awesome, but it also seems like the car will blow up after 20k miles.

anyone?

Can someone tell me which is better turbo for the C6, STS or APS. Since they are both rear mounted twin turbos and costs about the same price.

I can't say which is better, but I do believe STS is remote/rear mount, but the APS kit is where turbos would typically be located in the south of the engine bay.

APS turbos are close coupled to the engine (for greater engine response and power under the curve) and mounted low to ensure a lower center of gravity, I guess you could say the APS turbos are more mid mount/low mount.

I will buy it....especially if it can be installed and Dyno Tuned in 8 minutes!!!!! SOLD!!!!!

On a serious note here in Kansas City, MO there are a few vehicles with STS Turbo Kits, that are doing well on long term durability!
