RenegadeZ Posted June 13, 2005 Report Posted June 13, 2005 I was watchin "Trucks" on spike & they showed a new turbo by "STS", it mounts where the muffler goes (replaces muffler). Talk about a sleeper. Anyone else see that? I was thinking tha filters would have to be cleaned often with that location. Anyone else see/heard of that? Quote
5speedz34 Posted June 13, 2005 Report Posted June 13, 2005 Alot of LS1 guys have them. A friend I was in H.S. with has one on his WS6. Quote

RenegadeZ Posted June 13, 2005 Author Report Posted June 13, 2005 5speedz34, YOU!, whats up on that bumper buddy? thought I 4got eh? Quote
slick Posted June 13, 2005 Report Posted June 13, 2005 My only problem with it is the air filter location. Granted, it's probably getting cooler air, but all the other shit that hits the underside of the vehicle, probably not good for it. Quote
RenegadeZ Posted June 14, 2005 Author Report Posted June 14, 2005 Yea, I was thinking tha same thing... Quote
Tru2Chevy Posted June 15, 2005 Report Posted June 15, 2005 Most people just run a K&N and use a pre-filter with a splash guard. That keeps them in pretty good shape. There is a guy on thirdgen.org who fabbed his own rear mount turbo on a 2.8 cavi with 175k-ish miles and ran low 14's easy. - Justin Quote
timg Posted June 16, 2005 Report Posted June 16, 2005 STS kits are good, real front mount kits are better (assuming that they don't just use a bad log manifold). I really hope somebody does a test of a STS kit versus a normal kit some day. Tim Quote
topless94style Posted June 16, 2005 Report Posted June 16, 2005 STS kits are good, real front mount kits are better (assuming that they don't just use a bad log manifold). I really hope somebody does a test of a STS kit versus a normal kit some day. Tim I can see the throttle response on a normal front kit being way better than that rear mounted thing being that the air has a much farther distance to travel to get to the engine. Reminds me almost as though someone took that stupid ricer idea of putting that thing in your muffler to sound like a turbo, and said screw it and just built a turbo where the muffler goes. Quote
jeremy Posted June 16, 2005 Report Posted June 16, 2005 I like the idea, it is perfect for those cars that the engine bays are too cramped for a turbo....I was seriously considering doing this to the SHO if I had kept it... Quote
