Was looking around on ebay and found this

If you have an 08 GT or want to fab it to fit a MM this is 1 heck of a deal. I wish I could do it but my wife wants a Land Rover 1st then I can get 1. I hope this helps someone.

I was going to buy one with my tax return money and do one up myself. Problem is, no one around me would even remotely touch the car and attempt to tune it, already asked some shops. Plus, they are true "tuner" kits.

STS home office said that they have certified shops all over the continental US. Although the closest to me was about an hour away.

I wonder what it all looks like under the hood when it is done.

Go to STS.com, to me it looks like most of under hood turbos w/o the turbos actually being there. Hope it helps.

Thanx. I'll check it out just for grins.

Aren't STS systems all rear exhaust mounted?

Yup, it is but it would be cool to see a MM with this kind of setup.

[Raudermaster]

You could still have the MM tips, just would have to run piping off the turbo then weld the tips onto that. If I had time and a bit more cash I would have done it.

Nothing about fuel pumps or injectors. They dont even mention a tune.

Yes,

The stage three kit is for a single turbo application and has about half the piping you will need, not to mention no intercooler, no fuel pump, no injectors, no tune.

It's a great concept and Kudo's to the first person that puts one in. To make it truly efficient you would want to add headers also.

I would recommend going with a couple of twins, 45-50mm, to reduce lag and get some decent hp.

Why do the returns run under the rear axle, doesn't that cause problems? I've never been a fan of turbos, because of the lag, but I wondered if so much return tubing doesn't affect the boost, I would think that the closer to the source, and dump point the more the boost.

it would (should) look factory. depends on how you run the intake pipe. most of everything in a (STS kit) would be ran in the rear of the Car.

45-50mm are small for the 4v even the 2v. twin 60's would be the smallest i would put on a 4v.

The air flow is the key, the distance from the motor helps it to be intercooled about 40% b4 it gets back to the motor. The flow from the turbos does not loose pressure in a contained system it just cools as it passes through the pipes.

They are plenty for the stock motor and will spin up faster.
