I have read this entire thread. Took a while, And from what I have read, the customer service at STS is absolutely horrible. Countless people have tried to get them to show us any attention and they simply do not care to. On top of that, people call them over and over and get no response. What kind of company doesn't answer calls from potential customers? A company that is poorly managed. And I don't need some second rate, overpriced, poorly designed turbo from people that do not want my business. What a disappointment. I think I would rather pull my fuel injection out and put individual throttle bodies on that mother ****** than give STS a cent of my money.

i am sorry you feel that way. this is why we have vendors to help out in the process. I personally know Vernon at STS and he is a good guy. If you ever need help just let me know.

@needaz....The problems that I had with them was only the fact that they had no true designs for the AT7 370. That being said just like jamaica had said it's the vendors that make this work. I have personally spoke to rick squires several times and not once did he never return an E-mail or a phone call. Trust me I have one one my Z and l love it, you can't find another Turbo that stands out in the crowd like STS. I guess the early conversations were before the release of the non nismo kits.

I cannot say enough about the customer service I have recieved from Vernon to mark and Rick, they still contact me on a regular basis. The service from Jamaica was great as well! Now I just have to wait till winters over so i can get back on the road.

Tein S-tech springs, the turbo is above the rear axle at the back so it should be safe, I have scraped a couple times but it was on one of the braces in the middle part of the car I have been checking and have not seen any scrape marks on any part of the exhaust

u say all this just having read information on this thread? u have never dealt with them personally but have determined they are a horrible company and don't deserve a cent of your money?? interesting....

are we also discounting the last couple of pages of people talking about succesful installs? great power results? good customer service? every company will have growing pains when first developing a product, especially one as radical as this. so unless you yourself can come out with a product that is better for the amazing price u can get the sts kit at, then please dont go trash talking a company off hearsay

I'm sure if you call them they would be willing to do something for you. At the same time I can't say for sure since I didn't install the kit myself. I know from the web page they say it's an easy install but I know that the guys that installed my cussed a lot. I'm sure it was due to the fact that there was no design form my version of the 370z.
