Thats my friends car in the video on two guys garage!The car has no engine now as the motor sucked up a lot of water and cracked the block.And yes it was a very big puddle.People who live in Florida can understand how much rain can collect on the ground in such little time.

Anyone who disputes the idea needs to know simply this, PRESSURE IS PRESSURE!

If you pressurize a tube 2 inches long versus 24 inches long it doesn't matter.

exactly...the only thing that changes is volume with the size of the tube...you can push more air down a 4 inch pipe versus a 2 inch pipe...now if your talking compression its better to run a smaller diameter tube which in turn creates less work over a longer tube. Make the same length tube bigger in diameter and the energy needed to fill the extra space is created. Pressure is pressure when it comes to length..not so much when it comes to diameters

I would much rather have a single turbo that was properly sized or a twin turbo mounted right under the exhaust manifolds.

Dont forget to wrap those pipes going back to the turbos, gotta keep the heat in. Also, no LTs, they'll just rob power on a STS setup. It would seem to make more sense to go with a single though, for ease of piping. Stock manifolds into a y-pipe going back to the turbo then the other pipe running alongside the other to the front. Plenty of room for that, plus you could have the wastegate pipe run to the other side of the car and have a tip on it so it still looks like dual exhaust.

STS makes a great product. Yes it is different because it is remote mounted, but different does not mean it is bad!!

Keep an open mind to STS, they make a great performing product, and I have driven, and played with, multiple corvettes and 4th Gens with the STS kit, and it was an absolute pleasure.

Some people love Turbos, and some do not, but for those who do....STS is a great product with exceptional results, in my humble opinon.

1 foot of water is not that uncommon here in Houston in a big rainstorm. Happens more often than you might think.
