probably a repost..but.....anybody running this? STS rear turbo...pics on cobalt....

interesting idea for a twincharge setup on an ss/sc car. Would definitely be way cheaper than a turbo kit or a twincharge kit. This setup is like $2500 and all you have to do is get an exhaust shop to run the piping.





i know this has gotta be a repost but damn this is kinda interesting........almost makes me wish i hadn't bought an catback. lol.

and yeah I realize this isn't an ss/sc car, but obviously it could work just as easily on one.

haha, yep, it is a REPOST. Just found the sts link on the venders page. hahah.

I would be much too worried about destroying the IC piping on a speedbump or something...

those sts cars make crazy power tho...........look on streetfire for the sts f bodies with essentially stock LS1's and an STS turbo....INSANE. I wonder what it would do on an SS/SC running through the M62 with 10psi coming from the turbo......would be pretty badass sounding, thats for sure.

thatd be bad ass, someone should def try it, seems like a pretty good deal, comparable to the tvs price wise, and its nice to be able to cut out the cost for a new exhaust manifold and stuff

No air filter on the turbo?

Sounds like a bad idea to me.

im sorry but that is just silly amount of piping to run all the way back and forth, it is not functionally intelligent. it is cute though.
