Upgraded from the CST4 to the CST5, and I couldn't be happier! the CST4 is a great turbo, however I wanted MORE!!! the CST5 is the perfect mid-range turbo, it pulls hard, sounds great, and looks great! on a stock block and stock fueling with the CST5 my speed is making 413whp, this turbo is awesome.

After going through a couple turbo setups, I can say without a doubt, this thing hits above its’ weight class. And why should I be surprised. The car with the CST4 had incredible tip-in response, used every bit of fuel that is safely allowed on stock injectors, and punched all the way to redline. Now enter the ring, a new challenger! Built Block, 8th port, Ethanol, and a surgetank circuit track oriented solution.

Initial thoughts; It’s compact and still fits in factory location even with an IWG. Beautiful anti surge housing. All factory install.

Tuning; It was a breeze, the hot side housing I went with had EWG. Started out with a 17lb spring on pump gas, and during ethanol tuning, quickly needed to dump in 22lb spring sets. The torque curve greatly appreciated it and rewarded me with 400/400 HP/TQ on 92 octane and 525/525 on E50.

Driving; Being a bigger wheel I instantly knew that it would spool behind the CST4 but to my surprise was only a couple hundred RPM after and lights off at 3300 RPM @ 20 PSI with a ported head and flow mods. I am completely satisfied with how hard this thing hits, with very little sacrifice. A very good choice for all types of horsepower sub 525 and AUX fuel builds

What mods are absolutely necessary for the CST5? Can it be run on a bone stock block and head if it's tuned or would the CST4 be the better option on a bone stock setup?
