ok....first thing is first.........you will have a 1 second pause for the turbo to start spooling unless you hold the break down. So yes you will have a 1 second or maybe up to 3 second lag with any kit...this is the nature of the turbo...not like a blower mash your foot thing.
in referrence to my turbo...its different, very very different setup.
this is what I will say....air to air intercooler....turbo....new injectors....tuning....fuel pump......extremely simple kit.....home garage install....would say about 4 hours to install....if you know what you doin with trucks.
should surprise many....we are not done yet....but sure enough soon.
the only other kit i would say to go with is kurt's at wheel to wheel. serious kit.
the sts turbo is cool but its the "powerdyne" turbo of the bunch....but it works!
wont post pics yet.
but will say, once all installed will get dyno sheets and hopefully a track video...to get an idea. sorry thats all i can say now.
One thing parish in reference to you waiting....doesnt look like the nicks and nacks are all worked out with CS....thats why they didnt want to send you the kit out....personally....i wouldnt take orders on anything until it is completed....only thing you can do is install by the kit builder....meaning they do a custom install for you....this is why someone like Kurt at wheel to wheel will only do custom installs IF HE EVEN DOES...untill everything is worked out and r & d is complete.
Thanx.

If I brake torque mine to 0 vacuum when its just about to build boost then mat it the tires will spin a little and leaves hard. When I brake torque to about 5 psi then mat it all 4 tires spin for about 10-15 feet. This may get better when its warmer out and the roads are cleaner.
Had a timing problem that just got fixed about 4 hours ago so it leaves hard now.
My kit will not be offered for sale untill its right. When I say its for sale in kit form it will ship that day. I am not a sponsor of this sight so I can't post that info here.
These engines eat boost like they were born for it. Had a Hemi come up next to me on freeway from a 80 roll on the way home, I think he thought his Hemi stalled!

Here's to hoping it will be awesome once it is on!

got an update
duel intank pump is on the way from racetronics, it has 2 gss340m pumps, i was able to run an 11.9 with my last truck and just one of those pumps so a twin set up with less weight and no belt should be good for some seriously low ET's
turbo kit is DONE!!!!, and at the coating shop. there is a chance i will have it by the end of the week but if not then next week for sure.
it is set up with a cutout in place of the cat and has an extra 02 bung in the downpipe for my wideband. the header design is suppose to be better than what he had in the original pic and the intercooler is exactly 1/3 larger than the pic.
having pleanty of fuel means i should be able to put in some good gas, crank the boost on up and see what breaks first
wont be long now
