Hey everyone... do this install yourself. this is very easy and does not require a lot of skill. if you follow this video, then anyone can do it.
You can also go to www.WhooshMotorsports.com and pick it up for your vehicle.

Yo Fatguy I've had my Turbosmart on for awhile, like 6 months, and I could have swore I actually followed one of your videos to install it....

My car is already getting looks from the soccer moms on my street, I can only imagine when I get the exhaust system in.... but F it, the obnoxious and totally unecessary turbo diesel dually with the world's worst exhaust at the end of my block is waaaaaaaaaaaaaaay more of an issue....

I'm very new to this. How will this change the performance of the ST? Speed, acceleration, etc?

Mostly, it doesn't. If you get the 'Dual Port' version It does however add nice (subjective) sound when releasing some of the excess air back to the atmosphere.

Thanks! What can you install in the ST to increase the speed and acceleration?

I'm no expert, but I'd guess: larger turbos (along with the whipple intercooler), maybe a high pressure fuel pump, a tune (eg; ZFG*, PBD, 5-Star...etc). & a larger exhaust like Thermal R&D's (sold by Ron @Whoosh Motorsports). All of this depends on budget.

Wouldn't hurt to get some lowering springs (either Steeda or H&R) and the Steeda rear sway bar. But these don't increase speed, nor acceleration.

I ordered the 'Turbosmart EM BOV Dual Port VR2' from @ron@whooshmotorsports on Monday. Says it's unfulfilled, but I'm hoping it ships soon. Excited to get mine :)

I feel like throttle response is better in my opinion and I feel like I’m getting more of a sound out of my plumb back alongside my spd downpipes thermal exhaust

none really. but it will make sure you are not leaking boost pressure and causing poor performance over the life of your car.

Like to revisit this post and ask a question:
Do you need to seal the o rings with Right Stuff or any sealant or is that just extra precaution?
Tks.

Right Stuff is easy to work with but you can use other brands.
