Graphicjunkie is on the right track.

To shed a little light. Yes, make sure you get EVERYTHING with the kit. I mean, if you know what you're doing, you should be able to find/make due with a few small missing parts. Keep in mind the kit comes with an intercooler, BOV, injectors, 2bar MAP, and a predator.

Tuning wise, they use the diablosport predator with a custom tune to that rig. You would have to contact STS for another tune for your specific truck.

They retail for $5995.00(unless he got a universal kit, which is not application specific, does not have intercooler, tuner, injectors, etc).

I am actually a distributor for STS, want want to run a group buy on the site, but need to talk to the mods first.

That's because the intake (air filter) is on the bottom of the car where the turbo is located. They come with snorkel kits included now in the packages. You can also fabricate your own snorkel.

Remote mounts are considered better because the heat from the turbo is no longer in your engine compartment.

Don't worry about the predator. You can buy those for 300 and even if you had to buy that seperate it is still worth it.

The kits are about 6 grand.
