Imagine all the guys laying down around the car all the time???

I remember talking to the person that started STS and he was quite enthusiastic. Everyone thought it wouldn't work and they are making power like crazy with very low boost. I have the video of the 1st test car and that turbo comes up very quickly.
The biggest advantage that I think most people miss is the emissions aspect. It's after the cat so nothing can be said by CARB or any emissions stations. None of the emissions control devices are moved or touched. With any OBDII car and V engine configuration, they could only use a twin turbo setup to get emissions approval because each bank must be able to be tested separately. No single could ever get CARB approval which really only matters in I think about 13 states.
They are being sold like crazy now and I remember when everyone was against it. You can find them on SUVs and trucks all over now. If they come out with a kit for the Explorer Sport Trac, I'm getting one.
