Default Squires Turbo Systems (STS) - has anyone heard of this

OK, I might be a COMPLETE turbo noob, but I have never seen anything like this in my life!! I was checking out some modifications for my 350Z and found the STS Turbo System that bolts onto the exhaust.

Does anyone have any experience with something like this?

Heard people still install a intercooler as the air is still hot at the TB.

There's no kits for GS, but for 350Z, yes... problems are when it rains, snows, etc... might be great for Cali, but only Cali... or where you don't drive it in any weather...

People did mount it in the trunk inside the car to solve that problem... but needs someway to get the air into the trunk in the first place.

its a remote turbo setup, supposedly lowers under hood temps by relocating the turbo(s) to the rear of the car, and also increases turbo efficiency because the turbos aren't drawing heat from the engine either.

Yeah, its been a couple of years now since this was introduced. A lot of American cars swear by them and produce some mean power. Emerald, I hope I spelled her name right, has a set up similar to that on her SC4.

thanks...I've got a turbo blanket and heat wrap all the way up to the headers to reduce lag...It my favorite vehicle to drive lately. Only thing I'm not into is worrying if my scavenger pump is working or not. Other than that, its a great product.
