back in october of last year after i started my new job i was looking to finally get something to really give my car some serious hp and make it pretty sick anyway i got in touch with a rep from sts turbo who informed me there f body system was to be reworked and revised to be even better & that they were also offering a $600 discount on a group buy. now this was way too good to pass up so i plopped down a down payment and started saving. it was going to be ready by around new years so i paid by xmas and was ready to get it. this is were everything got ******. for some reason there were major screw ups on the build and way too many delays and refittings and testings that almost drove me insane. so anyway it was finally ready last week and was shipped minus a few things like the intercooler which has to be reworked to fit right and some miscellaneous stuff. but anyway after 7 months of waiting everything else finally came today so im fricken exstatic!!!!!!!!!

some highlights of the kit are
garrett gt 67 turbo
front mount air to air intercooler
revised dual exhaust
methanol injection

where is this turbo going to mount? underhood or in place of the muffler? there is very little room to work with underhood, as i am sure you are aware, which is why i ask. also, the ones that mount in place of the muffler in the back of the car are A) easier to install and work on, B) have very little, if any, lag and C) make more sense instead of trying to stuff one under the hood.

anyway, good luck with the project. saving over a long period of time like you did makes you appreciate the end product that much more, in my opinion. now you have to get to installing it. it'll be ready next spring for some shakedown runs, if not sooner.
