I want this
It seems to have lots of advantages over a conventional turbo setup.
hmmm.... they offer financing too ....

There are a few problems with those:
1. you have a lot of pipe that needs to be leak free to get the full potential
2. I have heard of big rocks, speed bumps, and road kill ripping the turbo off, or damageing them

i still call BS on this being a good idea. The negatives far outweigh the positives.
And the "no intercooler needs" part is for sure BS. Go over to ls1tech and most people say not to even install it without the optional intercooler.
I'd like to see a head to head test, conventional vs. sts turbo setup with same hp. Testing lag would be one of the major things i'd want to do... not testing from a dyno graph, take it out on the highway and do a 3rd gear drop at 60 and see where the lag is. I have a feeling the "no additional lag over a conventional setup" is a bi-product of using small ball bearing turbos.

yeah, I wouldn't run it without an intercooler, and they said their base kits run at 5 psi, so that's why there's no lag
but I won't argue with the world first 9 second GTO
