This kit sounds promising.
I'm surprised he recommended a single turbo, is he aware that we have DTB's?
A single turbo would mean some type of new intake or custom intercooler would have to be designed and made. Maybe he has something else in mind. Anyway, in for updates on this one.

just need a Y pipe or take a twin turbo intercooler and flip it upside down.

Nice to hear something... I wish someone nearby could get in touch with them...can't wait to see some results!

If noone has done it in the next 6 months I will.... i will most likely be picking up my 370 Roadster before the summer and then maybe a couple months after that I should have the greenbacks to do it....hopefully they go with a TT and I wont have to experiment lol.... GL man

I thought I told everyone to contact the sales department and all we need is someone to get their Z down there. I never have a problem with getting in contact with them they have answered and returned my call every time. I'm shocked that ppl are having such a hard time. I know MotoExtreme and someone that lives in Utah is trying to get their Z there. I hope they can make it so I can be TT'd before summer. Good luck guys, don't give up.

I'm not planning on FI right now but if it will help you guys out I'll swing by tomorrow. I'm not far from them.

GingaBreadMan · 02-08-2010, 10:10 PM

That would be great. Maybe they will work out a sweet deal for you to get turbo'd sooner.

motoextreme · 02-08-2010, 11:00 PM

He responded to my email today to please call, I called them back no later then 5 minutes after the email. I followed with another call late afternoon and I'll keep trying tomorrow. (I sent two follow up emails as well later in the day)

Point being...Trust me when I say I'm trying!

Update you soon.

StillenZ · 02-09-2010, 09:05 AM

lol... yea every time I email they say to call... they still haven't responded to my 2 emails... I don't get it... like I see thousands and thousands of potential revenue dollars for STS and still no "real" signs that they are that interested... I don't get why they wouldn't hop on here and try to sell some kits

Zguy · 02-09-2010, 10:11 AM

Its probably out of the scope of someones job there. Alot of people are lazy, they will only do what has to be done. Im sure if someone that was a little higher in the food chain there knew there was a large interest here then they would come on and get the ball rolling.

Honestly if you wanted to do the build bad enough its not complicated it would just be time consuming to put everything together.

motoextreme · 02-09-2010, 10:28 AM

I offered to do that. In fact I have two VERY qualified mechanics that are also very good with welding, bending pipe and just about anything else but I don't want to waste the resources if they are doing the same thing.

I'm going to try again in a few... I'll let you guys know the outcome.

kdoske · 02-09-2010, 02:21 PM

cool, I guess I'll wait a few months to see if the kit ever becomes available before buying the universal kit from them. I really want to install the kit myself. Should be fun!

schrute · 02-09-2010, 04:36 PM

I just got off the phone with Andrew. I offered to drive over and let them have a look at my car if that would help. They said today wasn't good for them - my next day off is in a week so I offered to bring it in then. If my schedule opens up I may be able to get it in sooner.

KingDavid · 02-10-2010, 12:47 PM

Great news guys! Can't wait to see results.

StillenZ · 02-11-2010, 10:10 AM

So I know nothing about how a Y-pipe would affect anything, so I am just going off what I have read and could be wrong... but didn't someone say that a Y-pipe would cause different air flow to go through to the two sides... like one side could be getting more air than the other causing MAF to read wrong or something... Someone educate me here please? I thought a simple Y-pipe wouldn't cut it?

Zguy · 02-11-2010, 10:42 AM

I would assume you are talking about coming from the turbo.... You would have your headers, to test pipes/Cats, to a Y pipe, to the turbo, Then you would have one charge pipe from the Turbo to a 1 inlet 2 outlet intercooler that would split the air equally to the 2 mafs. Granted im sure it wouldnt always be a perfect distribution. im sure it wouldnt be much of a difference between sides. Remember the 2 intakes feed the same chamber in the intake plenum. Air pressures would equalize pretty quickly. If each intake only fed one bank of the engine then you would have to make sure the boost coming in was equal.
