Sometimes you need to think about what you are getting for your money. I will not put down the STS, it does make power.....However the Radix system is just that, a COMPLETE system. Do your research and make an educated decision. If you have any questions please feel free to contact any of our dealers or you can call me direct at 805-642-8833 x 243.

You won't likely get posts for lowest prices, but you may get PM's... 
The cost difference is negligible, so bang for the buck is really the wrong question to be asking, IMO. The question to be asking is, "Do I want to be dicking with this thing for quite a while, or do I want plug-and-play?" Radix is plug-and-play, STS is not.

You know I'm just giving ya **** because it's fun and not because I have anything against the Radix right? If I had a second truck I'd get a Radix for it just so I could take videos of me smokin it with my STS kit.

I'm a little unsure about why the Radix is plug and play and the STS is not.?.? If I bought the STS, had it installed.... wouldn't it be ready to go? I know you can buy the upgraded turbo, injectors, etc. But even at that, once it's installed and tuned, what else is there?

I hear the STS PK (partial kit) might me suseptable to moisture?
You could always go Pimp!
and run the intake through the bed of the truck 
Honestly and Seriously though: I like Turbos but prefer the instant power of a modified roots blower (ala Radix).
As turbos go, IMO, the STS is under-engineered.

The STS really isn't that complicated but in a nutshell the Radix is easier if all you wanna do is slap it on and go. Although the Radix does much better with a custom tune and some minor changes I believe.
The STS will require custom tuning, and you'll have to take a whole 10min of your day to order injectors and a fuel pump. Hehehe
Now get into the methanol or IC thing and it does get more complicated for sure.
