Just things I heard about having cats on for turbo cars.

How exactly would the catalytic converter components get "sucked through" the turbo into the engine?

With RMT, cats are definitely an unnecessary risk to the turbo, though, no question there.

Honestly if you know anything about cars or hell even have common sense, cats getting sucked into the engine can't physically happen.

Do not buy from STS turbo they take months to finish their bolt on kits on any car it took them 6 months to put on my turbo kit on my car and they wanted full payment within 2 weeks i waited half a year for their basic kit!!! And they would not give me discount is costed over $14k every week after the first month i constantly contacted them and they kept saying the car will be done next week they kept saying for 6 months!!! WTF these guys are lazy,slow and dont give a sh!t about their customers. I want to know can i sue them for having my car for so long and charging me more then their estimation on the price and telling me it would be done in 3 weeks and they kept telling me it would be done the next week for 6 months.

im sorry guys my grammar sucks im just really mad at them.

He hasn't posted any proof yet of having his car worked on. Until we see anything legit from him I'd take his word with a grain of salt.

After what said company has done to a few members it doesn't seem that unlikely of STS doing this. The fact they haven't even tried to defend themselves says volumes about them. How much more disgruntled customers do u need to hear from?

I'm not saying anything about STS in one direction or another. My point was this is someone who just joined our forum, doesn't drive a Z, and has only made posts bashing STS. Before anyone takes what he says at truth we should see some sort of proof.

If he can show something proving that STS is working on his car, then yeah I say this is a huge red flag and STS needs to explain it before trying to sell anything on the forums. Until that time though its best to reserve judgement.

You know, I was wondering the same thing, but that topic has been beat to death on this board so I just left it.
