2004 GMC Sierra STS Turbo System
Looking toward the front of the truck, the pipe runs along and under the right side of the vehicle. All of the piping uses the same ceramic-coated steel which contributes to drastically reduced intake air temperatures.

Like the turbo and wastegate, the oil pump is also remotely mounted. Oil is circulated through the turbo to help cool it. The STS System comes complete with the stainless steel oil hose to feed the turbo and oil return hose to bring it back to the motor. In case you were wondering, you do not need to add additional oil to your motor if you have one of these systems.

An ingenuous design exclusive to STS is the oil cap. The cap is a direct replacement for the stock one and returns the oil from the turbo back into the motor. All you have to do is swap caps.

Aftermarket gauges, such as these from AutoMeter, include boost, air/fuel mixture, and fuel pressure. Although not necessary, they are great additions to the system.

In this particular application, Eggers installed an intercooler. Although it reduces the intake air temps to nearly ambient, you do not have to have an intercooler to realize significant gains from the STS System. The standard intake piping provides approximately 50 percent intercooler efficiency so there is really no need for the expense, pressure drop, and installation problems associated with a front mounted intercooler.

The intercooler peaking out from under the front bumper is really the only visual clue that anything has been done to this truck.
