STM forward facing turbo kit.

Just wondering if anyone is running the STM precision PTE 6262 forward facing turbo and how does it perform. Also how was it to install. Think of running it on my car.

All these front facing kits are great in my opinion. The only part that has always bothered me is we tuned one and during the steady state process you couldnt stay in it for longer than about 5 or so seconds without the coolant temps steadily start to rise. That half radiator really did take away from the cars cooling ability.

Did you find any way to mitigate the rising temp problem?

Use a better half cut radiator.

I dont have over heating problems.

x2.... And this is with the block half-filled. I run a fan on the front and back of the radiator and even in 85degree weather the car will run 165 in traffic.

Ran CBRd on my blue Evo now I have a Koyo. Both units are awesome although I think the Koyo is a bit cheaper.
