      I've been following STS off and on since they first introduced the remote mount turbo system and was very skeptical at first, but they've been getting great reviews and results lately....often wondered what results a kit for the CB would produce..

        it would be pointless to run a rear end turbo on a cb. theres alot of room in the front for any turbo. those turbos are made for cars with no room anywhere near the engine, so they put it in the back.

          very nice Vette

          I enjoyed the Fidanza clutch video, too. Their Stage 3.2 kit sound nice

            I was thinking more for keeping all that heat out of the engine bay....

              DAMN you hear that sucker spool up?

              537HP WOOOW...and 4 MORE MPG!!! YES!!!

              imagine...if...that WERE a z06!!!

              I would feel safer with z06 though...doesn't it have better suspension?

              Nice how the psi loss is almost completely outweighed by the temp drop...even better with that intercooler...to bad you couldn't get a larger one.

              might be said that...
              v8's handle turbo better cause they are bigger...right...not really. It depends on your v8's size.

              From what I've read lag is not as big of an issue on larger engines...that vette is the perfect is example. it is a BIG deal on 4cyl's. Of course this is not true if you put a HUGE turbo on a v8.

              I say this because that vette is 6L correct, well on my supra it WOULD be an issue because it is only a 4L, the vette pushes more air so lag is nothing. On my supra, I would have to deal with lag as a v8 is really kinda like (but not really) two 4cyl (2 2 liters for me, two 3 liter 4cyl for that vette).

              Am I accurate?


              HA HA HA great video!
