I agree with you on heat, but I never looked how STS turbos were set up, you should go to their website and watch the video's of the twin turbo vette's HOLY CRAP! (they are mounted in the back so no heat is in the engine compartment)
Edit: I also prefer the sound of turbo's and don't see the problem with adding exhaust components to the car (I think it saves more weight as well)
