STS turbo

KpazzH0ly · 05-02-2006, 03:26 PM

Here's the thing. A friend of mine knows I am in the market for a turbo, and got me there number. I just got off the phone with one of their reps. I asked him if he has a kit for our car, which he does not, but he told me that he has a universal kit. Also he added that there was a 02 pontiac grand am that had this put on his car. Anyone know who this could be?

The universal kit was like $3125, you just would need custom tuning, and got to an exhaust shop to rig up piping.

That would be a good deal if you ask me, as long as you had a tuner and knew how to use it.

but back OT. I think that turbo set-up you talked about is a good idea. Even if you don't know exactly what you are doing tuning wise, I'm sure you could find a shope to help ya out with that part (as well as the custom piping). good luck!

well kpazz doesnt need a tuner.... he got one for free...

but this sounds promising

El_Diablo · 05-02-2006, 11:24 PM

heeeeeyyyyy buuuuddy, how ya doin?

KpazzH0ly · 05-03-2006, 01:04 AM

Not im stuck with a decision, STS + S+S headers, or DPP??????

Tuning check,
transmission- needs rebuilding anyway, so check

I hate choices..... Thats why I would like more info about this whole thing.

coupe · 05-03-2006, 05:33 AM

Dont feel bad, ive been trying to figure out what im gonna do for 3 years now.

Blight · 05-03-2006, 09:09 AM

Id say S+S Headers at least. Once i head that TOG Headers were flaking into the cat i got S+S

El_Diablo · 05-03-2006, 09:18 AM

is HP performance still selling kits? thats another option....

KpazzH0ly · 05-03-2006, 11:18 AM

Well I've talked a lot to Germ and every question I had has been answer, so awesome customer service! And a known product!

HP performance is difficult to get answer, parts, and basically to get a hold of them, poor service. Only 2 people have the turbo, one dissappeared and the other one doesnt have it installed....so no clue?

STS, answered my questions, kept it quick and simple. Technically there is no kit. I am sure I can buy all the piping on line from a place like vertech.com, (i think thats the place) But no one has it done to a grand am, so who knows what would happen.....

I don't care about headers, the only way i would get headers is if i got a STS turbo.

Pontiac Ninja · 05-03-2006, 11:24 AM

I thought headers were 1 of the best bolt ons for our car??!!

if you go all motor, remote mount turbo, or a supercharger or nawz...

if you go with a traditional setup, those shiny headers get scrapped... mwaahhahahaha.

It was never verified that TOG's coating was flaking. Most people have had no problem with them, and they're still a better design than S&S.

On topic, I really hope someone tries this rear mount turbo. I think it could be an awesome setup on this car with the right tuning and proper intercooler/pipe routing, and it would be so much easier to fit in considering the room under the hood.

Thnx bud, but thats froma berreta which I was fully aware of, I am sure it would work for the ga too.

Mendoza · 05-19-2006, 07:41 AM

Thats a low budget and easy setup with some really good numbers... When i go forced induction this will be the way i go.
