Default STS Turbo?

Has anyone bought one of these for their trucks? If so, how well did it work for you power wise, MPG, ease of install, etc...

Talking

I assume sarcasm is part of your charm, cut me some slack here, I finally can afford to do some mods and I like turbo better than superchargers.
That and I found this site after I already bought it. If you could I would be interested in any advice on fuel management systems, torque converters,tranny mods, and 2" lift kits for a 04 dbl cab taco.

thanks

Thumbs down Update

O.K. folks, the turbo is in and the stock comp. has readjusted itself to deal with the boost and like mick67 said the boost is about 5lbs. I havent put it on a dyno yet but I plan to after I install larger injectors, FTC, BR-3, and LM-1 from URD, and a boost controller so I can run 8lbs of boost. I will say that most of you were right to say that STS is a bad investment. I am on my second set of pipes and on my way to the third set because the bolt holes for the waste gate and the O2 sensor were cut out with a laser cutter so they are blown out (not round, missing parts of the sides where the threads are supposed to be), the flanges arent flat, and the directions don't tell you where all of the vac lines go. I'm still having trouble getting an answerto my questions.

Guess they changed the documentation from 02 to 04 because mine was complete. Who did you buy your kit from ? If you are having issues with Squires, contact Billy at Texas Rear Turbo's. He was a great deal of help, took my calls on weekends and got the Squires guys on the phone. Billy's web site is www.trtturbo.com
