Question STS Turbo

Is this turbo all what its talked up to be? I have 2003 Silverado HD with the 6.0 with some engine work done. Is it worth the money or is Supercharge the way to go? Any response or general experience with this will be appreciated.

My advice, start with the sticky at the top of the FI section. What FI option is best largely depends on what you want out of it.

Everyone is a little different in there needs and wants. Force induction is one of the easiest ways to get more power, but it may also cost more than what you are willing to give....

The sticky is good but there have been a few kits added to the market. Look into Trick Performance products turbo kits a sponsor to the >>>>>>>>>>
I would definately go with a front mount turbo vs. rear mount.

Yes, but I had the choice. Alot of these guys running STS kits have them because at the time there wasn't a Front mount available at a decent price. Notice how more and more STS guys are moving their turbos closer and closer to the front and some are converting to a front mount.

We offer a couple of different kits for your truck. I would go with the HI front mount and intercooler as a complete set. You will also need injectors, retune and a quick stop at your muffler shop.
Let us know if there is anything we can do for you.
