Default STS turbo or parts?

Well, okay turbos are awsome and I need to get one, lol. I was wondering if I should forget about geting a cam and a few other things this summer, so I can save up for an STS tubro. The only problem is I'll have to wait till next summer when I have enough money saved up. Do you guys really think it's worth the wait (I don't know how much longer I can hold out, bone stock and all )? BTW, is there any welding involved? I'm taking a metalworking and welding class next year for school.

To my knowledge there isnt i believe it just bolts to the y pipe just go to ststurbo.com they have all the info you need. I would do the cam swap and everything else first cause Im a beleiver that you have to have a good base before you can build anything substantial. Just my .02

IMO stick with the cam and bolt-ons. You can't afford to break anything right now and the STS could vert well do that. FI has a tendancy to break weak parts AND be 3times more expensive than you originally planned. LOL

I did the same thing, I was voting in Spoolin's poll and the comment posted in this thread. Kind of weird has to be a glitch, some how his poll is in two places.
