I am getting in contact with these guys to get a twin turbo setup in my Superbee... I was looking around on the website and the numbers these kits put out is quite amazing, to be honest. They look, sound, and preform like animals apparently.

Once I contact them about my BEE I also going to ask about a Jeep SRT8 kit. They are very well priced, too. Shaq, and Leno use STS :o

I already spoke to Joe at STS about a Jeep SRT8 kit. They're not currently in the plans. $8k is kinda high for a kit too.

definately need to get the upgraded/bigger turbos for the HEMIs!

You can get the tuner kit, and custom fab the rest.....not too hard. The big part is the tuning.

Oh really? Did they say why they have no plans? I mean they could make some mean machines out of the Jeeps. The average supercharger is about 5-6K plus labor puts it up even more. The kit may be 8K, but the labor costs for the rear-mounted system is peanuts compared to the supercharger costs.

I didn't really go much deeper with him. He tried to sell me a Universal kit instead.

I've actually considered going that route, but the fabrication of the pipes (and the fact I'd need to buy two kits) is whats holding me back.

I almost purchased an STS for my Trans Am. . . I did alot of looking into it and money became a factor. If I would of had the money when I still had my WS6, I would of had an STS on there. That kit is amazing!!!

And in actuality, I might still put an STS kit on the WS.6 . . since my parents own it, it still is mine once and a while ;)

if you put the twin kit on you would roll anything on the streets :D

I cant stop watching the STS turbo videos on youtube.

The only problem with myself is that I am dropping the Arrington 440 in my superbee, and the sts website doesnt list any products for big blocks. still waiting for them to get back to me.

Still on the fence myself... 4psi would be enough to hold me over considering I'm still pretty content with the stock power level. :)

You can purchase the turbos, waste gates, etc and have a company mount and install the piping for you. Thats what I did.

I never quit modding my WS.6 as money allowed. . . I currently have it set up with the perfect cam and internals for a turbo kit . . . just makes me want to put an STS on even more . .

Only thing that stopped me was I bought the WS.6 as my "high school" car . . never really had a lot of money until I got out of college couple years ago . . once money came my GC SRT8 appeared on the driveway finally :)

I made a phone call to STS about 8 months ago and got the same answer. Universal kit didn't appeal to me and I went with the single CIS offered thru PPP. Lots more options for FI nowadays!

as did i, i ALMOST put the sts turbo kit on my Trans Am, sold the TA, then ALMOST put it on my C5 corvette, but sold it also. I still want one of these kits to try and hook it up!!!

I hear you... got my LT1 Z28 when I was 18... 10 years later I'm driving an LS1 and I spend all the money on the family and house.. It's hard to motivated myself to spend money on mods when I know my 2 year old can enjoy a new powerwheel vehicle. :)

Mike, I got an email back from the regional manager, Freddy Polo.

We like to show off the ease of installation to a regular do it yourselfer since it is a bigger part of our business. We can however go as big as the imagination allows by bolting on as big of turbo's as your vehicle can handle. So yes we can get you the right combination of Turbo's to make as all the power you need. You can call me and I will go over all of the details with you.Thanks!

Hmmmm...

A universal kit just has a turbo, a waste gate and an oil pump. No plumping, oil lines, BOV, tuner, etc.
