i have a sts turbo on my 2002 ws6 and i have had the oil problem twice so ar but went away, it is a problem
and im in florida and when we get our rain season i cant drive my car alot, i have a shield on mine and still get water coming in and in spits and sputters,

if sum1 hasnt had the problem then they are the lucky ones, but i do like sts , great power, and the sound on the turbo is like a jet goin down the road, only flaw i dont like is the air filter location and i only have 1 exhaust pipe , besides that i love it

I have had my STS system for 9 months and 7400 miles without any water issues. I have driven in snow storms and in heavy downpours. I had the shield on, but not the sock they give you to put around it and it is fine.

A lot of the oil issues can come from the checkvalve that STS has on the oil line to the turbo. If anything....gets caught in it it will hang the valve open and cause the oil to drain into the turbo and then you have a mess......would like to see a better valve on there but hey....they are fun when they are working right.....

I am aware of some oil issues however they have all been traced to installation issues....I have not heard of a single mechanical failure causing oil leakage issues....and Rick maybe like me is thinking your talking about some of the install issues....I dunno...

I talked to Rick today about the checkvalve that feeds the oil to the turbo.....he said that they have upgraded that so hopefully that will help with the problem with it hanging open so easily...........

I have not had any oil issues either, the car is very well behaved on he highway. The only problem I had was a little hole in the piston from being too lean
