Are you allowed to run those at the track? Wasn’t there some kind of rule that the turbo has to be mounted in the engine compartment?

i believe PRP has that rule. But i dont frequent the track much, and there are other tracks, that are a lot nicer than PRP.

I caught this one on LS1Tech, a great deal. (not a STS system)
i’m just not at the point to buy another show car.

STS turbos are known to be one of the best kits out there for the LSx engine
not the best, but damn good bang for the buck
