STS Turbo

RetroKid · May 1st, 2008, 01:02 PM

I was reading a mustang magazine and I came across this article about a turbo system for a 2005-2008 Mustang V6. If you haven't heard of it here is a direct link to the site Squires Turbo Systems - Turbocharged Innovation!. I just wanted to hear others opinion on this turbo, because I plan on putting in a turbo system and the only one I've found for the V6 is the PowerHouse system. I also wanted to hear some opinions on Turbochargers vs Supercharges, what would be best for the new V6's.

seens 9psi get 374rwhp...i'd say avg is about 350-360rwhp with 9psi

ive never owned a 4.0 let alone a turbo'd one
just a turbo 3.8

sweet?! you dont have a thread for it?

glad it worked out

im sure he can vouche for me and say its money WELL spent. he just got his.9psi is kind of a high start for my taste. i like to build up. but he's only at the begining its a shit ton of fun.

turismo374 · May 1st, 2008, 07:53 PM

i just need to leave it at the shop and wait i drove it like 3 times its great i dont notice any lag, i didnt get on it that much cause im waiting for the new rear to come with the t lock

itschristorres8 · May 1st, 2008, 09:00 PM

you have a dyno sheet? i'll tell you where thers lag....
judging by STS website theres plenty

turismo374 · May 1st, 2008, 09:51 PM

i wont have the dyno sheet til everythings done theres lag but not like people who dont have the system say, theres maybe like 1.5 secs before the car really takes off

browna09 · May 1st, 2008, 10:02 PM

I have been looking around a lot for good turbos. I have called several of the STS people. I really like the STS. It seems great. I have also looked at power house turbos, but i like the idea of the rear mount more.

At first I thought I had to rebuild the rear end if I got a turbo, but since i am not going to do any really hard drags or launches, I dont think I need to get the GT's 8.8 differentials. Am I wrong about this? If its not necessary, I would really like to not have to spend the money on the rearend upgrade.

There was a thread about this not long ago. If you get a turbo (unless it is a really tiny (1-3psi) one then you HAVE TO upgrade your rear end. If you don't you're gonna break it.

MWWarlord · May 2nd, 2008, 03:44 AM

Even with the small one you could still break it if you really got on it.
