Originally posted by J-BloodAE86there is always <I>some</I> lag, thats enevitable. its an innovative setup for sure, i've been thinking of some midengine swap setups with routed intercoolers and raditors in the "engine bay" in the front similar to this setup. my only question for the "sts" is why?? why not mount it in the enginebay? if it gets too hot, (which isnt a huge problem anyway) just vent the hood and add some fans, you could even add a sprayer like you would for a TMIC. id save all that extra piping and extra oil system just for a cooler turbo. there is more than enough room in all the cars they offer it for. just seems dumb.
And two, not all cars can easily fit a turbo under the head, which is why I am deciding whether I will remotely mount a turbo in my 318is or custom make a manifold so the turbo is up around valve cover height.

and about your car, STS doesnt make a kit for your car, i said that of all the cars that STS makes a kit for, none of <I>those</I> cars are lacking in space for a turbo to fit.

And J-blood, by lag I'm talking like no boost until around 3500rpms or one set number. Like you said you can't make full boost right after idle, but as long as you're building some boost you're building horsepower along with it.
