I'm in the middle of building my kit. I have a thread if you search you should be able to find it. Jason150 (think that's how you spell it) has the actual sts kit. When I'm all done ill have 400rwhp for under $1500

Thought you were looking for 375rwhp. More boost or more mods? Its looks like its coming along nicely.

not a fan of the rear mounted turbo kits...you pay the same (or in the case of STS way more) as other kits (including S/C kits) and make less power

What happens, happens. I'm running the same boost as sts who his 350 with no ic and a pig rich conservative tune. I have an ic, I'll have a better tune as well as ud pullies and efans which should add ~5hp. I can always add a pound or two. the final call will be made by my tuner.

As far as turbos making less power....... Hahahahaha!!

Granted it is pricey due to supply and demand, go to the mustang world where demand is higher. A$3000 sc on a 5.0 will get you 300rwhp. A$3000 turbo kit will get you 500rwhp


Ive had both turbo and sc, I will never go back to sc. I love the twin turbo kit I fabbed for my 5.0, the sc just couldn't keep up with my hp demands
