Friends got me thinking.

Ok I was going to take out say a 4K loan when it came to repairing and repainting my car. Well I told some of my friends about the STS rear mounted turbo charger and they got me thinking. I could spend the 4K on a turbo charger. So I can have a repainted car or a turbo charged Camaro.

That's hard, with the turbo kit you'd have a true sleeper.

And a sleeper would be nice, plus how many turbo charged Camaros do you see running around?

It'd be fun to pull up to a C5 and just blow it away.

Dang it. I'm going to end driving around with a primered dent in the back because of you guys. But on the bright side I will have a turbo charger. Basically it is a question of what do I want to do first, performance or appearance.

If you do the STS rear mounted turbo, get ready for some turbo lag, due to the distance from the motor. It WILL lay down 410 rwhp at LEAST so you'll definately hand a Z06 his *** most likely (not sure about a vert) but you'd definately have fun, and you gotta watch everything on it. Is it a DD?

Yes it will be a DD. I'm going to get an turbo adjustment ****. Run around 3-5 PSI while driving and crank it up to 5-7 for the ZO6.
