well hopefully...ive been talking to this guy who is going to hook me up with the STS kit plus injectors, turbonectics intercooler, pyro and boost gauges, tial blow off valve, map 2.5 sensor, and possibly water/meth kit. I'm seeing how it pans out but im pretty pumped as of now it's lookin good. the only thing is the turbo has a blown seal, but i don't care too much, for the price i might as well be getting the intercooler and injectors. anyone with experience with the kit got any comments or questions i should know or be asking?

The STS kits perform pretty well on the rams. When you order the full kit, with the tuning included, you get the upgraded injectors, 2bar MAP sensor, a Diablosport tuner loaded with a tune for your truck, and an intercooler. They now are using a water to air intercooler with them, as they seem to be more efficient on the trucks. They switched over to their own brand, STS blowoff valves.

Make sure it comes with the complete oiling system, and maybe try it out. I would find out why the turbo seals blew. If the oiling system(scavenge pump) failed, it could possibly have caused the oil to blow by the seals. Its VERY rare, but has happened.

How do you plan on tuning the setup?

If you have any questions, feel free to shoot me a PM or e-mail.

Let us know how it goes. It seems like there is a lot of interest with boosting.
Good luck...
