    You need to do some reading is you are asking that kind of question.

    I've seen one person run a STS kit on their GP at least that has posted on the GP forums. I've never been a fan of their design.

    I have talked to STS and Intense Racing, who had a kit in progress long ago. Bing "Intense racing STS turbo". The kit had significant lag, didn't even start spooling until over 4000 RPM. Plus what you pay for their universal kit (which isn't enough to complete the job), you will end up paying more than a Z3/Z7 kit and almost as much for a Stattama kit. When you include all the fabbing you have to do to get the STS kit to fit, you will pay significantly more (in time or money) than other kits it seems.

    I'm not sure about gains. I can't find a stock car with a Z3/Z7/Stattama kit installed. All the dynos have other mods, which you can't compare with Intense's which was stock except the STS kit.
