Either go with the TopgunZ setup with the stillen, or forget the SC completely and pick up one of the Boosted Performance single turbo kits (which is what you should do).
Not to argue with you as I've seen your post before and you know what you are talking about but the heat exchanger on the stillen not being an air to air shouldn't be the end of the world though and cause the engine to be a ticking time bomb should it? I mean I've heard some of the BMWs are now using a air to water cooler in manifold like the stillen kit so in theory if the tune were right and you knew the coolers ability to drop temps per ambient etc wouldn't it be safe?
