that could be one of the most worthless, illogical, and idiotic comments i have read here*. That has no fact or proof behind it to back it up what so ever.

i was under the impression that a fag flag bumper sticker and a lifetime membership to nambla came standard. wait.........they may only isssue full membership to guys that buy the v6 kit...my mistake

i think rear mounts are garbage, to much labor and totally not worth it, i think some of you need to stay out threads like this because you have no idea what you are talking about...

I surely hope this isnt aimed towards me. ^

This is the response i was waiting for. Most people seem to think "rear mounted" turbochargers are notorious for lag. This isnt true. This is the first post that has actually talked about the Quality of the STS kit, or lack of. Ive handled the STS kit, and its far from acceptable in terms of fitment and qaulity. Up until this point, the argument has been about performance and lag characteristics. Now though, the bottem line is simply about quality. Im amazed no one thought to ask this question in the first place.

agreed that is a good post. have either of yall had experience with the STS having problems? as in breaking down or anything like that?

too much labor to install?? you dont have to dissamble the engine compartment to put it in, it is the exhaust system so you dont need to upgrade that, ya the oil lines can get complicated, but it is much less labor than a front turbo

forst you have been here almost a year, you have 34 posts you have a shitty car http://www.moddedmustangs.com/forums...r-100_0620.jpg

noone cares about you, and you dont make sense. gtfo

well sorry about getting off topic there. here is the last thing i just said that i would like a response to:

too much labor to install?? you dont have to dissamble the engine compartment to put it in, it is the exhaust system so you dont need to upgrade that, ya the oil lines can get complicated, but it is much less labor to install than a front turbo i think. also, if you bottom out(which i did on sunday and i am still sad about) will it really destroy the turbo?

thats the best car i can afford....you are such a jerk! i am scarred for life. people really think that a roller is my daily driver. btw i have traded that and am working on a t88 351 shortbed ranger. the bottom line again is that sts could very well be made overseas and we would not know it. their quality is that bad. please dont make the mistake going with them. while easily installed and not to laggy thay dont give you good physical value for the money

Take a look at Mike Murrilos Outlaw 10.5 car. Rear mounted, twin T88s. 6.70s @ 200+mph. Yeah, rear mounts are retarded.

well that car is an ecption to the rule. if u have enough money you can build a bad anything. i dont know about where u guys r but at the dragstrips where i live you can not run a car with a power adder that is not in a firewall type environment. Those STS things are illegal at most if not all tracks due to the fact that if for some reason a turbo comes apart its basically a gernade with lots of scrapnel.
