You have been a bad boy Bullet.

You are a Virgo, that might explain some of it.

Why the need for 5 different phone numbers?

1. How old are their systems?
2. Did they actually drive the vechile correctly and/or allow everything to cool off after running the hell out of the turbo?
This could also be due to the installer, the driver, lack of maintenance and not the system. This isn't about what if or it may happen. I've had ZERO problems.
Your reply was kind of vague...nothing about how the system was treated. People will say until they die that it wasn't their fault it failed and they did everything to keep the system in working order.In some cases, like 98's, it wasn't their fault and the system had a flaw. It happens even with GTM,Stillen,etc... No wants to admit fault and they think the system should last forever since they paid money for said system. No system is not without its problems and I'm sure if it was a huge issue they would of addressed it with a oil free turbo. Which they haven't.

Now, they are not paying me or giving me kick backs to write anything on here. These are all personal experiences on my Z, not on corvettes, mustangs or any other cars only the Z.

Tower,

Question: That blue pump is for the oil, correct? Does this use a standalone reservoir, or is it a helper from the distance traveled to the engine?

(Back in my M/C drag turbo days we ran standalones. Not a bad thing.)

That rear system would benefit from a big plastic or carbon cover, like under engines. It looks so vulnerable with potential road debris slapping around.

I'm not a hater. I like this. If that Corvette is a similar turbo system, that shows it well!

Don't worry about that...hate trollers ... I do believe that is a stand alone oil pump. From what I have read they do use that type of system.
Electric Oil Feed and Scavenge Pumps
As far as road debris, that's a good question. Like I said I've 2500 miles and was just under the car last month. The only I had found was a broken clip holding up the piping. That was a five minute fix and could be from the install. The guys who did my install weren't very versed in imports. SCARY..even though I'm learning myself.
The Corvette wasn't an STS system.

I'm actually liking this system as well! the ease of installation and the power level looks great in every aspect and something i can DIY inside my garage. maybe i should switch kits!

To be honest I think the wiring would probably be the biggest challenge but I'm sure you could probably get close to the install time they are saying it would take. Bright side it'll save you anywhere from $1000-$1500 in install fees. Save that money for more upgrades

I like the idea of a Plastic/CF plate.
