sts turbo

[Tahoe03mm]

I read all the hype on the sts turbo system.. it seems like a lot of extra bolt on crap and I don't know if I like the whole way they run the oil cooling lines. How much are those and are they really worth it?

Depends on who you buy the kit from how much they cost. But they seemd worth it to me from the videos people post up with them on it. I would go turbo before I went supercharger. People complain about the lag but you really don't have any unless your turbo is 80mm or larger. A stage 1 turbo is usually between 57-65mm which will have practically no lag. But you can find a used s/c for like 1500 sometimes so it will save you lots of money.

they seem to work, but for $3500, i'd do SC personally.

s/c is way more reliable. but u will make more power with a turbo.

Really? I would agree that the power bands are different, but saying that the turbo makes more power is something I have not seen data on.

s/c blows turbos out of the water dew to simple maintenance and overall powerband

S/c or turbo its all the same just what do you want to hear a whine or a blow off valve? No matter what you choose if you are in top gear you still have to down shift to for the thing to kick in. The S/C will give you more out of the hole but the turbo is better from a rolling start. I personally like turbo setups easier on the motor and more hp/boost or atleast thats what the popular word is.
