Somehow I don’t see the numbers they claim…84HP at the wheels from only 4lbs of boost??? They better be running one hell of a big turbo on that Tacoma… Not a big fan of having the air filter right there at ground level either. ---

Just ask turbomustangs forum about those. Them guys are turbo Gods. Most of the threads over there aren’t about talkin bout makin some power. They all got somthing serious under the hood. If you read the company’s hype on remote mount you might think that they are on to something. But. I don’t hear anything good from anyone else ---

Hey I have a article on that type of system in my S3 magazine. Its seems pretty usefull. You don’t really have to worry about heat cause its under the truck or car with wind being pushed over it at all times. So your gains would be good cause of that. I would worry about fuckin up the kit thow hittin a pot hole or runnin over something in the road. To much money to spend to have it fucked up cause of that. ---

I hear those remote mount turbos suffer from really bad lag. I don’t really understand why you just wouldn’t mount them in the engine bay? Its not like its going to be a sleeper when your hood is popped and there is an intercooler pipe and a BOV there. ---

Dont knock the STS kit. It doesn’t have as big of lag as you would think. The turbo is sized to accomodate for its position. The main reason I wont get one is because I already have a full aftermarket exhaust, and you need the stocker. Also you can’t have SFC’s on a Fbody(left side) because the charge pipe runs in that spot. Other than that there are many people running this kit and loving it. -j [Next page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/domestics-and-turdbo/172237.md?page=2)
