Is there more delay in the time it takes for the turbo to spool up since there is a lot more air to get moving in the pipes between the turbo and the engine. It's still a bada$$ setup though. Want to trade? not anymore delay then a regular turbo setup....boost kicked in at 2800-3200rpms depending on that gear it was in...also having taller gears helps with spool time....4.10's will let the engine spin up faster then 3.27s....the intercooler piping was 2 inch from the turbo to the engine compartment then steps up to 3 inch from the blowoff valve to the intercooler and throttle body...

Is it a problem if the turbo gets wet, I know you wouldn't want to suck in water but if you routed your intake so it couldn't and the turbo was just in a spot where is might get splashed with water would that be a problem?
Also I take it 03slickvic that you blew it up at 12psi and thats why you said to stay under 10psi ?

Also I take it 03slickvic that you blew it up at 12psi and thats why you said to stay under 10psi ? well with rain and puddles...i drove around the puddles and in the rain i drove much slower....as long as your not in the boost in the rain, the turbo wont pick up any water....all i had was a K&N filter with their silk filter sock on it....no issues what so ever in the rain.......you can build a sheild to cover the turbo and filter....remote mounted turbos run 400-500 degrees cooler then a under the hood unit...so water doesnt affect the turbo...why did i turn up the boost? i got greedy i quess....whats 2 more psi of boost? "BOOM!" is the answer lol...ran out of fuel pump most likely....just keep it under 10psi and your golden! tune! tune! tune! its all in the tune....

But you could have even routed your intake under your hood to be safer yet if you wanted to?

I've looked at the STS system quite a bit. They have a "snorkle" system (just a flexible hose ducting) so you can move the air intake away from the turbo itself. I thought the best place would be in the middle of the rear bumper, underneath a proguard unit. Then put that moisture foam wrap on the filter. That would be ideal and you could WOT right through puddles 1 foot deep without issue.
