    Vortec CAI, JBA open headers, URD Y-pipe and 3" Magnaflow exaust, Stage 3 ECU, ATC Stage 3 clutch, Stage 3 Aluminum Flywheel, Front Slotted disc brakes.
    So I am looking to Upgreydd my 08 x-runner with a Turbo system, yet I am having trouble finding a kit that does not require that I replace my cold air intake and open headers.

    I understand that STS offers a kit that could mount underneath the chasis, but I'm not sure if it's really worth the investment.

    Anybody have any experience on this?

    From what I've seen the sts kit is pretty janky. Only a couple psi and no tuning solution. A cold air intake won't really matter if you're running a turbo though, the intercooler sorts that out.

    no kits out there for the v6, its all gonna have to be a custom set up. there use to be a kit made and there are a couple members on here that have them, and its basically the only way to run one and keep the hood on. I basically based my set up on the kits that I have seen.



    I'm not considering the sts a legit kit cuz Tor tried it first and had nothing but problems and if he cant make it work, no one can
