theres a couple online websites that have it pretty cheap...watch out for ground clearance, no one told me but the sts piping runs really low! i have trouble looking for parking since i cant go into most parking structures, in LA!

Hey just a heads up... The STS kit also uses a non-gravity fed oiling system. Plus since these are not gravity fed, the oil sometimes cavatates in the rear causing additional failures. PM me for the new info on the twin high-mount Garrett kit that uses oil and water cooled turbos with internal wastegates for a super clean OEM look. No ground clearance issues either. I can supply images, tech drawings, and ridiculous dyno numbers since the kit can come with GT28's, GT30's (71 or 76 trim, and even GT35R's.

Just be warned. Remote mount turbos have a major flaw.....getting oil back to the engine. I HAD the STS twin turbo kit on my car for a very short time. The scavange pump that STS uses kept failing and they were unable to come up with a reason or a solution. Finally they just stopped responding to my phone calls and e-mails all together. When I say it was failing, I'm not talking about under boost or load, I'm talking about normal driving conditions: 5th gear 2000rpm, 65-70mph. It's a gut wrenching feeling to see smoke pouring from your turbos and oil dripping out the tail pipes when you finally get stopped.
The STS kit will make your car wicked fast, but their tech support sucks and quite honestly, I would sue them if I thought I could do it for less than what I paid for the kit. If you really want to go turbo, I would recomend looking elswhere.

The oil issues STS had was when they orginally designed their kit and did in fact have issues with the oil pumps they were supplying with their kits failing. They have since changed to a different oil pump and the issue has gone away.
It was very common for their early kits to have oil pumps failures.
