Do a search and you'll find out a lot more, its actually a cool kit and only requires like 8 or so hours to put on. so they say.

If you are going to run stock internals then i would have low PSI's so you will not be getting a lot of boost into your engine. And you will have to make your rear end stronger and then you will be cool.

Ok here is a run down. Sts is a good kit, makes great power but doesnt seem to get the ET's at the track. It sucks to have to loose your catback, and you will have only one exhaust tip. I am not a fan of the air filter location, puddles are not your friend. It does make great power and with lower boost doesnt require an intercooler. It does suck to have to run oil lines all the way to the back of the car though. Another plus is it it relatively inexpensive for the power it can produce. Also it is easy to upgrade to intercoolers and different turbos. Another downside is avoid having cats at all. If you ca blows out it will clog your turbo (it has already happened). Other then that it is loud. Nothing from the y-pipe back except a turbo can get pretty loud. I am partial to Prochargers but this is what I have learned from researching for a friend.

I'm not a fan of it, only due to it's location.
