I don't think anyone is saying you can't make more power with a normal front mounted turbo. Some places like California, though, don't allow you to mess with the exhaust in front of the cats, so STS is really your only turbo option until somebody gets a kit approved.

Sure, you lose a lot of energy from the exhaust by putting it in the back, but a properly sized turbo can make up for that. I will be interested to see the track times for this kit. That will tell the true tale to me.
