I was considering the STS system because it seems like a stealthy way to add some power. Run a factory style y pipe rearward to the turbo mounted in the old muffler location. Run the out pipe from turbo up the other side of car to carb. Two three inch pipes would look somewhat stock from underneath, unless the turbo was spied.

What are the downsides that you talking about, besides 8 psi at 3000rpm and 8 psi at 6000 rpm?

thanks

How are you gonna drain the oil back to the pan from the turbo that low?

i think they use some sort of sump and pump setup to get the oil back to the motor.
