STS TWIN TURBO KIT vs APS TWIN TURBO KIT
#101
Nope been here a while without ever having an issue. Just thought your comment was a bit unnecessary, as did you or you wouldn't have deleted it. So I would say it is not a matter of "insecurities", but a response to your garbage attitude about a fellow forum members question.
Simple question about the reliability of these systems (Whether they make them any more or not) because I am looking into rear mount turbos, and I'd like to hear any problems anyone has had with any remote mounts, so that I might consider that when looking at current options.
Appreciate your time.

Upp?
I'm not really sure if this has been posted yet but I saw this somewhere before. It's a UPP Twin turbo kit. I had never heard of them before. Anybody have any experience w/their kits?

The debate between SC and turbo is a brutal one. Especially if you only want to run low boost, you don't want to be giving up a lot of power to make that boost.

The thing that scared me away from the STS kit is if your cats fail, you wipe out the turbos, since they are where your mufflers currently are. I also like to be able to use the NPP exhaust to be either super loud or really quiet. The STS setup is always loud.

I used to feel same as you, but I swapped for corsas so I'm ALWAYS loud. I don't drive it that much so I don't mind. Very good points tho!

Front Mount Vs Rear Mount Turbos
Hey all,
I'm trying to decide on a front vs rear mount twin turbo set up for my C6 Z.
I've compiled the pros and cons for the rear mount, but would really appreciate your thoughts and insight before making a decision.
Pros:
1)Cheaper to buy cuz it doesn't require the crappy welded manifolds
2)Cheaper to install cuz it's less re-routing of other parts of my car
3)Better weight distribution for better traction/handling
4)No possible heat issues cuz the turbos are out back
Cons:
1)Takes longer to spoil up cuz the pressure has to travel farther
2)Less susceptible to being damaged due to front location
3)Weighs less cuz less plumbing
