ive got a remote mount setup on my v6.

its not a v8... ive already posted plenty of info about it.

im out.

 

contact freddy, they are offering a free install and tune if you buy thier base kit and let them use your truck for a week

 

Hey guys, I have the STS turbo system on my 2008 F150 Limited. From what I understand, I was the first and only F150 running the upgraded GT67 turbocharger on the truck. It works awesome. A few things I would like to clear up as I have a lot of experience turbocharging and using their systems as well. First, people that speak of turbo lag have issues with the vehicle, tune, or have gone with too big of a turbo. Like I said, I have the GT67 upgrade on mine and the thing makes a Roush F150 look like it's standing still and I am currently at 5psi working out some bugs with the tune. Second, any one that talks about bad weather being a ****ty mix with this kit has NO BASIS TO TALK. I installed mine in November, has seen -60C weather w/windchill, seen snow, ice, slush, and now rain, and it WORKS FLAWLESS. This is Canada and I wish I had the driving conditions that most of you share most of the year. The only thing I would say is that it probably is not for the offroading guy. I would stick with an under the hood solution there. I have put 12000km and have had a small issue with the throttle body 90 degree coupler blowing off when it was really cold, but other than that, it has been flawless. I think it is a viable solution to superchargers and I find the power and and torque much more usuable than the Roush charged trucks. It also sounds amazing and keeps the noise level down compared to the competitors. I vowed never to buy an American vehicle but I have had 2 F150's (06 and now my 08) and now with the STS solution, I LOVE my truck and believe I bought the best gas jobber on the market. Cheers everyone!

 

sweet why would someone bring up a chevy on a ford site? sts is the way to go i know different people with them and love them.(not on f150)

 

Agreed bluebeast. But to clear things up, the STS guys here have done quite a few chevys, they just finished an intimidator ss, have a couple tt vettes running around, but I am still the only turboed f150....but not for long, too many people know of my truck now and they want the same thing

 

care to share some pictures?

 

i'd like to see a dyno chart if possible

 

Hey guys, I will post some pics ASAP....well, I do not have any dyno sheets as there are no 4wd dynos here. There is a guy who just bought a dynapak but doesn't have the 6 bolt hubs for it. What is the max image file size I can upload?

My goal in that for summer, the truck will run 10psi w/injection....boost gauge says 4psi now. I blew the doors off a new Tundra that had bolt ons and a 06 Silverado SS w/a predator. I think the truck might be running 350awhp right now....

I am gonna try to post some vids on youtube shortly....

F150's are the best

 

not so fast buddy! theres quite a bit of turbo f150's unless your refering to the only actual Squires Turbo system then okay.

but the only turbo'd f150 - no.

and yeah, i agree. remote mount turbo setups work very well.

 

how much was your setup jdmsupra? cost wise is it in the same range as a supercharger to acheive the gains your claiming? thanks

 

From what I understand, I am the only STS turboed 04-08 F150 in Canada. I do not know of any other turboed 04-08 in Canada (I know I was the second kit out of STS) but have seen the older body style with turbochargers in the US (underhood). I just wanted to make my limited even more "limited" by being the only one with turbo power! I own #54 of 750 here and unfortunately, there are a few others running around in the same city.

As for costs, the STS kit is cheaper in the end. I was thinking about maybe organizing a group buy but I think the kit is cheaper or on par with a SC but the install time is probably like 4 hours less at least. I can not confirm how much power I am running but I am not running the standard kit on my truck. Their numbers are usually conservative.

 

what kind of boost lag do you have????

 

well, boost lag is hard to explain....especially in the truck. From a roll, none that I can say.....boost lag is minimal....I have raced a Roushcharged F150 (07 4X4 and he said he was in 2wd when we raced) and he beat me off the line, maybe half a truck (within my boost lag from a full stop....I have AWD and I honestly do not know how to properly launch the truck and I don't really want to know any ways) but then I was gone. I am sure their standard kit has very little lag if any. I am suprised that my truck has relatively no lag compared to my 04 V6 custom turbocharged Eclipse.....if I am caught in the wrong gear in that car, I'm done. It's hard to describe honestly....especailly if you have a truck in 2wd....you would preload to be in the sweet spot anyways....as for everyday driving, lag has NEVER been an issue. Maybe I will take a video driving around to show what I mean. BTW, if any one is interested in these kits, msg me and I will send you the contact info for the F150 STS guys and they will give board members good deals.

 

id be interested. pm me. thanks

 

yeah Id be interested in one as well. Ive been debating between the saleen and procharger. but this seems more like it.
