so im thinking of adding the sts system to my car. in wyoming it snows like a bitch so iwas worried about the turbo being so hot then going threw snow would that mess it up? also has any body done this if so hit me up, telling how much u like it or not.

 

The turbo wont be very hot at all, about 400* at most.

 

the turbo wont be as hot as most, but snow shouldnt matter, it woudl be the same as if you exhaust got hit with snow, just dotn run open compressor and your fine, im looking more into the STS stuff right now... a garrett big t28 would be nice

 

Jn2 you mean a GT28RS?

 

i mean this one

the shop that was doing sts in utah had a special if u buy the kit they will install it for free.

 

hey there is a guy on here who already did a sts setup on a 2.2
its really nice i bet u can find him if you search.
the sts idea is really bad ass.

 

xcobaltx did it, he started his buuild a while back, im looking into this, not gunna try it right now, my wallet doesnt agree with me but im doin the research on it, checking prices on parts etc

 

i want

 

So just curious.. What are the advantages of doing this setup vs the traditional setup? Just more efficient because doesnt get as hot or what?

 

nothing really...less hp gains....more exspensive...but hidden

 

easier to work with...no custom manifold needed...more piping, but piping i easier, and you have more room to play with, you dont have to make a dp, since the turbo is in the back, just a dump pipe...loads easier and cost cheaper than traditional ways...cheaper if you do all your own labor like most of us CAN...even thought some dont

 

pretty exhaust



i want one because its hidden....i would even take a step further and hide the FMI like the old 300zx TT...and possibly a surrond for the fancy exhaust components

 

you could go with a SMIC, they are good for low-mid boost levels, which is something im thinking of doin, its cheaper, and you can get small OEM SMIC for cheap, like ths one

there is no need for big ass FMIC's when you dont push the boost required to make them beneficial, sure they look nice, but they are ment for those that make more heat due to more boost, they have a higher pressure drop, which for those running low boost is something you dont want, for those running the boost needed for a FMIC too be efficient, the small loss is nothing compared to their total gain...sorry almost started ranting there

 

exactly what i was talkin bout
