Default STS Turbo

Does anyone have any information on the STS Turbo. The only thing I have heard on it was via the teraflex video (Found Here) where they talk about it being installed on their blue jeep at the EJS. 100hp on the ground increase.

What are peoples thoughts on this vs. the RIPP Gen 2? Price Comparisons? Actual performance comparisons or information? Ease of install? Any and all info appreciated!

Here's a link to the description page for it: hxxp://www.ststurbo.com/jeep_wrangler

Really looking forward to it. Sounds like a serious boost in power! I notice they list a price like it is commercially available. Is Teraflex working with them to improve on it, fine tune it, or what?

Default Design questions?

Wonder how a hot turbo ontop of the skid plate would like being dunked in water on a stream crossing? STS systems are decent for street vehicles, not sure about a 4x4...

A remote mounted turbo?? No thanks... Especially one mounted under a Jeep wrangler where rocks and stuff are sure to be hitting.

You can make a custom setup much higher quality and with the turbo mounted in the engine bay for cheaper. Tuning would be the only issue.
