sts turbo system tech help = :bloated:

short version:

tim is going to turbo his car
theres an sts stage 2 system on ls1tech
i think “hmm, maybe it would make a good “parts” kit if we can get the price down a lil” … this is of course IF the turbo is big enough

supposedly its an upgraded turbo, so i call STS, pretend ill be buying a kit, and ask details about the stage 2 setup

apparently the stage 2 kit comes with a “gt-60 t3t4 turbo”
apparently @ 5psi, this kit gives you a 50% hp increase
apparently @ 7psi, this kit gives you a 85% hp increase
and the kit takes 14-16 hours to install

i couldnt even find out what size wastegate comes with the kit …

and before anyone bitches that i heard wrong about any of the above details, i can take a pic of the sheet i wrote everything down on … this is eaxactly what i was told, and i realize its all wrong

GT-60? good christ…

something tells me that MAYBE gt-60’s are a little bit to large for a 500 hp car …
but u get an amazing discount through STS … the entire kit is $4000 and you get a bunch more then just the $4600 turbo with the kit

gt60:
141mm Compressor Wheel
2,200-hp
List Price: $4,625.00

nooooo fucking way they got a GT-60 back there. the base turbo is a 60-1 little turbo that will max out around 500rwhp on an ls1. the upgrade turbo is a "gt"67, which is basically a 67mm garret turbo
