Just Got a E-mail back form STS
Justin, no our kit won't fit the 6.0L as they are very vehicle, engine, and
chassis specific. We will be building this kit pretty soon though. The
main difference will be the exhaust as the 6.0L's have a dual exhaust setup
back to the muffler. Most of our current kit will fit so it won't be a huge
project to finish for this application.

Re: truck turbo kit anybody heard of this kit????
We'll start a whole new thread on the kit when it gets closer to completion. Thanks for the positive response though guys.
As far as upgradability goes, we've designed the kit to use turbos ranging in size from a T62 to a GT80, so you've got plenty of room to grow.
The system itself was designed to be beautiful (the oooh's and aaaaahhhhh's when popping a hood are important), powerful (we're a bunch of horsepower junkies for those that don't know us), and reliable (what good is going fast if you can only do it once?).
As for the debate on where a turbo sits in the exhaust system, you all know the right answer to that question. The farther back in the exhaust stream the turbo is, the less exhaust energy it has to use, the less efficient the system. Are we saying the STS kit does not work? Not at all. Heck, you could mount a turbo in the trailer behind you and get it to work. However, efficiency would suffer greatly.
We're all about doing things the right way, not the easy way.
This kit will be available for the 5.3 and 6.0, possibly the 4.8 as well.
