Benefits of STS Remote-Mounted Turbochargers


  • Lower underhood temperatures.  No need to worry about melting wires, hoses, or other engine components, as with a front-mounted turbo.
  • Ease of installation. STS turbo systems can be installed in about 8 hours with standard tools and average mechanical ability.
  • Cooler oil to the turbo.  Cool oil is better for both the turbo and engine.
  • Performance Sound.  The turbo acts as a muffler and sounds like an aftermarket performance muffler.  Turbo spool and rushing air from the blow-off valve make a unique sound that will turn heads!
  • No need for major modifications to your vehicle.  STS systems are designed to "bolt-on" to factory mounts.
  • Increased gas mileage.  Unlike a belt driven supercharger, the turbo utilizes "wasted" energy leaving your tailpipe.  Most of our customers get 1-3 mpg increase in gas mileage compared to their original stock mpg numbers.
  • Converts back to stock in about an hour.
  • More room under the hood.  Future repair work or modifications will not require the expense of removing the turbo system to allow access to engine components.
  • Lowest Intake Air Temps.  Low IAT's equate to more horsepower per pound of boost than any other forced induction option.  STS intake piping provides built-in intercooling.  Add the optional intercooler, and IAT's drop even further.
  • Approximately 500F lower turbo temperatures.  Eliminates the need for a turbo-timer, which allows the engine to run after the car is shut off in order to cool down the turbo and prevent oil and bearing damage.
  • Denser exhaust gasses drive the turbo turbine wheel more efficiently.
  • Turbo is exposed to ambient air rather than underhood air.  Allows for better cooling of turbo components.
  • No need for expensive headers, mufflers, or exhaust systems.
  • Turbo is closer to the tail pipe outlet.   Provides a better pressure differential across the turbine wheel which promotes better flow across turbine.
  • Better weight transfer.  Increases traction because the bulk of system is mounted in rear of vehicle rather than up front.
  • Less noise and heat in the passenger compartment.

When supercharger belts break, they normally cause a great deal of damage to other
engine components and belts.  You will also be stuck on the side of the road.

Mounted in place of the stock mufflers, our turbo system is custom engineered to spool up as fast as a front-mount turbo system, but eliminates all of the installation and excess heat issues. 

We encourage you to continue your investigation into the many benefits of STS remote-mounted turbocharging, and remind you not to always trust the uninformed traditionalist masses, i.e. uniformed traditionalists used to also believe the earth was flat.
