Response from STS
Here is the response I got from STS turbo in regard to one of their systems on a Lincoln LS:
Thank you for contacting STS Turbo regarding our remote mounted turbo systems!
Yes, we have a great solution for your application! It is called our Universal Single (or Twin) Turbo System. Even though this is not officially a bolt-on system for your application, our Universal Systems have been successfully installed on thousands of satisfied customers' vehicles over the years. Let me explain the general course of action for getting one of our Universal Systems successfully on your vehicle.
First, we will get you in touch with one of our many STS Power Dealers that have experience installing our Universal Systems.
Next, they will work with you on getting you a quote for putting it on your vehicle, and will also discuss your tuning options. As part of the install of a Universal System, they will have to fabricate custom piping to fit on your vehicle, so the quote will be higher than just the installation of one of our bolt-on systems. However, the combination of the lower Universal System price (starting at only $1,995.00 for the single and $2,995.00 for the twin) and the higher Universal install price is normally quite comparable to the total price of one of our bolt-on systems plus normal installation.
Also, please keep in mind that even though STS cannot be responsible for the tuning option that a Universal System customer chooses for his vehicle, STS Turbo will strive to help as much as we can with tech questions or other advice. The STS Power Dealer who does the install will, of course, be another point of contact for tuning support.
So the end result is that you will enjoy all the benefits of our patented Remote-Mounted Turbo System just as much as our customers that have our bolt-on systems! That is why our Universal Systems are our best selling products.
Please contact me any time and we can discuss the various components you would need for your system.
Thanks!
