# Ease of installation. STS turbo systems can be installed in about 8 hours with standard tools and average mechanical ability.
# 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.
# Lower underhood temperatures. No need to worry about melting wires, hoses, or other components.
# 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.
# Cooler oil to the turbo. Cool oil is better for both the turbo and engine.
# 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.
# Built-in intercooling. Intake piping provides ~50% intercooler efficiency. There is no need for the expense, pressure drop, and installation problems associated with a front mounted intercooler.
# 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 in the passenger compartment.
SquiresTurboSystems(STS)from
Orem, Utah has vaporized another huge myth- that a turbocharger needs to be mounted as close to the engine as possible. Conventional wisdom implies that exhaust heat is the energy driving the turbo. Secondarily,the shorter the intake path, the more responsivethe turbo will
be. When STSintroduced its patented remote mounted turbo system to the world a couple of years ago, those mythswere put on notice. Fortunately,STSfounder,and head ofR&D, RickSquires challenged conventional wisdom. Rickreasoned that if you could stick a torch in
the turbo inlet and the turbine wheel didn't spin, heat is not the energy source driving the
turbo - exhaust flow is. Rick also reasoned that the amount of exhaust flowing out of the cylinder heads is equal to the amount of exhaust that is flowing out of the tailpipe, so it really doesn't matter where the turbo is
mounted. Armed with these assumptions Rickreplaced the muffler on a "mule" test vehicle with a turbo and wastegate assembly. He ran a piece of tubing from the turbo compressor forward to the throttle body. Sinceturbos need a source of lubrication,Rickdevised a patented setup that sends engine oil to the turbo under pressure. It circulates through the turbo and is pumped back to the engine by an electric pump through a special cap that simply replaces the original filler cap. Rick fired the thing up and went for a test drive. Just as he suspected the engine didn't know, or care, that the turbo was at the rear of the vehicle. It was at full boost by 3000rpm and increased the RWHP by 69% at only 5psi. The mule ran as hard and responded as well as any turbocharged vehicle he had ever owned
or driven. Everyone who saw and heard themule run wasalso impressedwith the awesome sound it made. Because the turbocharger replaces the muffler, what you hear out of the exhaust is a cool-sounding turbo whine. It wasn't long before Rickquit his day job and the
STS remote mounted turbo system company was born! Here's why STS has rocked the world of turbocharging: Before the concept of remote
turbos, turbo kits werecomplicated and difficult to install, especiallyin today's tightly packaged engine compartments. With STS, nothing gets added to the engine compartment except the intake tube that is no more obtrusive than the original factory intake. That means it isas
easy to work on your engine as it was stock. Most engine-mounted aftermarket kits take days to install, and require major, irreversible modifications to your vehicle. All STS turbo kits can be installed in 4-8 hours with simple hand tools, no fabrication and no welding and removed in less than an hour. At last, a true bolt-on turbo system! Another liability with traditional enginemounted turbos is heat.A turbo radiatesintense
heat that tends to cook everything rubber or plastic under the hood. With the turbo mounted in the rearit runs up to 8000cooler,and because it is out in the air stream, turbo heat has no ill effect on the vehicle. Turbocharger reliability is also greatly increased because it runs much cooler, and there is no need for a cool-down timer. Another advantage of remote turbocharging is that the inlet charge air temperature
drops almost 1000 from the compressor to theintake manifold. The passive air-cooling of the inlet pipe that runs from the rear to the front of
the vehicle reduces the need for an intercooler.
:oops:
For a given pipe diameter, a slower gas through it would be less noisy and what would be the difference between the sound from remote turbocharging and a front turboed vehicle with a high flow cat-back exhaust besides the intercooler?? ...Provided you running a the same boost? 
Don't think there'll be a significant difference if at all 
..but the high pitched sound that these turbos make (when spooled up), I think will be alot more obvious when its at the back of the car, because then, that sound won't be drowned out say, by other engine sounds.....don't know if that makes sense.
WTF these white men doing jed, replacing the barrel with a turbo system I nearly take my TV off yes.. when they were done it worked real good... it was the first time i ever saw a set up like that... I will recomend it for guys who have cars with very little engine bay room to work with if they want some boost...

I will show you what it does the next time I meet you on the tracks
