I heard you can't pull heavy loads with a turbo
I just talked to this guy and he said that with a turbo on your truck you should not tow heavy loads because you will heat up the turbo to much. Also he said that the STS kit does not run as efficiently because it is not right off the header and that there is loss in efficiency. Is any of this true?

LMAO!
They covered the turbo not being able to pull part.. It's complete BS.
The STS kit is not as efficient IMO as a front mount yet it gets the job done inexpensively. It works great for EVERYONE that has bought one and the people I know of that are using it for towing are having great results as well. Just add a small intercooler and injectors and the kit is complete.
