I've recently been in contact with Joe at STS Turbo...he has been very helpful in answering my questions about doing a bolt-on system for our trucks (guys w/ 3.7L V6). I asked him if was possible to use the same bolt-on kit sold for the Dodge Hemi's and use it on our truck with a smaller turbo etc. As well as what were all the things I would need to do this setup correctly...such as tuning etc. He replied saying:

Call KRC for tuning 1st

.Injectors, FMU and Pcm tuning make the best kits work.

I can offer the full pipe kit and 630chp turbo for 3.6 to 5.0.

If you think it’s too much the 550hp unit would be no more or less.

Do you tow over 4,000lbs@all?

It can be done for sure .It just a matter of desire vs. cost.

The tuner kit is $3995.00 and with intercooler is $5495.00.

3-8 psi is ok with pump gas.

I asked him what the difference was between the 630 and 550 and he responded saying:

The 630 unit would be good for a heavy truck, big tires, or towing .That being said it would be full boost @ around 3500rpm.

The 550 unit would do it @ 3000.A little better for day to day use .The 550 is a better match up for you.

We will swap the air filter and cover for it .Still a bolt on .You are correct5 on the tuner kit .All but tuning.

The $3995.00 included the blow off valve too.

You can order direct with all major credit cards.

Respectfully, Joe@sts.

So there you have it...I know people have searched for options like this as far as a bolt-on kit goes...and turns out it sounds like this would be a good way to go! I forgot to ask him...but does anyone know how this setup would affect gas mileage?

 

lol...u post all this awesome stuff, and then ask about gas mileage? wtf.

 

Come on Derrick, I know you want to.

 

Haha, well I've heard it could actually increase gas mileage in certain applications...so I was wondering if anyone had any experience with it. lol. Not because I'm so worried about it

 

alright...then your inquiry towards mpg gains will slide this time
