I don't think one is better than the other when it comes to turbo or TS, both have their good and bad points. If you want a turbo stay far far away from the STS kit. There are major problems with the oiling system on that kit and it's not possible to upgrade the turbos to something bigger. Most turbo setups can be upgraded at a later date with a bigger turbo. Give Jim Napier at Turbohorsepower.com or Mike at Powerhouse411.com a call. They both make great kits and can answer all you questions about going turbo.

A 68mm turbo capable of 680 can be purchased from them. For alot less money than the upgrade, I took mine into to a custom turbo shop and they built a 62-1 BB turbo capable of 700 with better internals and oiling.
If you plan on tracking the car, go with a whipple. If you don't, it's personal choice.

To the OP, search for my more detailed posts regarding STS and you will be sorry you even asked about the kit. STS is a company of crooks that care more about racing their own cars than taking care of paying customers. When their junk fails, they will just leave you hanging. Customer support is horrible, and only available 9-5 M-F MST. No sympathy, no refunds, no exchanges, no credit after 30 days, and absolutely no help.
I recommend that anyone who is interested in the STS kits contact a local tuner or speed shop and get their impressions of STS. When I called around my area the overwhelming response was "Yeah, I've FIXED several of those". Had I gone through this excercise, I would have saved myself a big chunk of time, $$$, headaches and, I would have a perfectly reliable whipple supercharger under the hood.
