I was just looking on you tube. And saw this sts system on a camiro. I wanted to do this way way back. Alot of members said dont do it. Looks like a setup that wouldnt be bad. just dont have a big ass turbo. a t25 like i have should spool quick. heres a vid

looks like a good setup. would be around the same price if you do it homemade i say.

Check it out:cool:

Ive seen a GTO done like that, looks ok to me and shouldnt really need any real big IC like that

yes thats true. i think it would be cheaper since no manifold, use your header an 2 1/4 piping. idk something someone should consider doing

FWIW-There is a ton of info here on rear mounts. I too would be interested in a rear mount project, it seems that most who have them like them. I have not seen one person say that they have it and it sucks, don't do it. I think to do it right, it would cost close to the same, but, it solves a lot turbo problems too, it may, may being a key word, just have a little extra lag.

Key thing i think is just use a small turbo. dont get a t3/t4 hybrid then lag accurs. just some good flow an a fast spooling turbo would be great. I would love to see a 3geez do this. first sts 3geez FTW lol
