Default Possible Turbo For Crossfire

I have a 2005 Roadster and my tech says that STS Turbo. www.ststurbo.com could possibly make a turbo if enough people would contact them with interest to purchase.

I don't know if I'm sold on the whole remote turbo idea. I'd like to see it in action. Good lookin' out, though. I'll have to contact STS.

What is the deal with Turbo cracking your headgasket? It happened on my Saab and I have heard of people doing it alot. I never even really pushed the Saab all that much

Depending on how well this motor takes to boost this system could work really well. I have to question the strength of the engine's internals, though.

Bobba, just in case the haters have been hatin' and the lovers havn't been lovin', let me toss you some love:

Your car is sooooo smooth. It's ricey no doubt, but I love the look

(By the way, I just fulfilled all my "young and still hip" requirements with the whole "haters hatin'" thing. You won't hear me talking like that until next fiscal year).

Thanks Xeth! usually I'd laugh at a hillarious joke like that... but after 11:13am this morning when Kerry called in to Bush... my heart has lost all hope for america... I think im gonna move to China... where politics still hold some freedom and choice... and where citizens actually are looked after instead of shipped by boat or by plane to there death in a 3rd world worthless country... I doubt ill be adding anything to my car soon... since I will be working on harder then usually because I better be prep'n for the draft that will be starting up soon... 1) Afgan 2) Iraq 3) Iran... yayyy.....

yeah i remember this being posted a while back and no one showed interest. id be interested thought, ive emailed them before but got no response. it seems like it wouldnt be much work for them to make this system adapt to any car. the only question i have is the wear and tear the turbo might take.

The STS people need to prototype a Xfire for someone that's willing to do it for half price or something so that they can get into the enthusiasts that are car forums!
