yup.

Like I said, if you look at an LS1's engine bay, you wont be surprised as to why someone decided to go another route (no pun intended..teehee) when it comes to turbo piping

They use small turbos on a 5.7L motor..

I'd like to see the ITR w/remote turbo the thread creator was talking about..because unless it has a fortune cookie 14b or something, I'd assume its spool would be awful

Yeah, the STS GTO was pretty neat...but like flo said, that's a tiny turbo on a decent sized motor....so it would tough to lag that. Anything else I would think it's useless.

The exhaust gases move fast enough to create very little lag. That's the one thing everyone thinks when they hear about the STS kit. OMG SUPER HUGE LAG!!

I'm more considering the lag from the charged air side of things...
