Haha, I read the title and was like "When the F did STS start making a V6 turbo option?!"


Short Throw Shifter.... got it!

Steeda Tri Ax is one of the best. I use them in all of my manual Mustangs.

Damn, I thought this was going to be our first STS turbo thread for some new product they were going to offer for our stangs.

I like MGW quite honestly, Tri-Ax 2nd - Both are awesome.

I have nothing to add to this thread other than... why would someone want a STS turbo kit? Hey lets run extra piping that we dont need, sounds like a swell idea.

STS turbos are extremely effective cause all that piping is essentially a massive intercooler, so even if you have a psi of pressure drop or 2 psi maybe, you lose several hundred degrees of temp from the air charge making the same turbos more often than not more effective in a STS setup vs a front mount
