A lot of applause and adoration went toward GM when the C7 first debuted–sleek, well-equipped, luxurious, and deserving of its supercar mantra, the Stingray Corvette was a monument to what GM’s engineers could achieve when given the right support and focus. Nevertheless, there’s never been such a thing as a perfect car, and here to give owners bolt-on improvements was STS Turbo.

A shot of the display Corvette’s engine bay shows hints of the turbocharger system.

The silky white Corvette sitting at an angle in the company’s booth had a pretty sweet secret hiding underneath, as we learned. Here to help explain it was president Mike Langford: “What we have here is a remote-mounted rear turbocharger system for the new 2014 C7, that’s putting down some impressive numbers, both in testing and in the outside world.”

We pressed Langford to get a little more specific with those numbers, and discovered that the car could make 650 hp to the rear wheels. “We got there through oil-less turbos, dual front intercoolers, and tubing that does nothing to inhibit airflow in any way, shape, or form,” said Langford. “Outside of that, everything you see here is stock, from the motor to the axle.”

The kit routes its way through the car in a somewhat complicated system, but does so in a practical and rational manner. “Starting with the removal of the rear mufflers, the turbos go on in their place and tie into the factory exhaust pipes in front of the differential,” said Langford. “The charge pipes go through the wheel wells, through the rocker panels, back around the front suspension, into the intercooler, and from there straight into the engine.”

Taking all that into account, it’s fair to say that a lot of C7s will be getting a big boost in the coming weeks; will yours? Find out more on the turbo system by visiting STS Turbo online or giving them a phone call with the provided contact information below.
