Iron block, twin turbos, turbo plumbing, intercooling and all that fun stuff add up. It is suprising that a 1.3 liter would weigh almost as much as a 5.7 though.

Having a turbo in the muffler location is asking for a road debris hit. Air and Oil Lines running that far is just asking for a problem

i ran the STS on my taco for 35k. 3 trips over the rubicon and fordyce with zero issues. on a lowered/low vehicle i do see some issues.
