Ordering UPP twin turbo kit, what else do I need?
I have a 2001 Z06. Currently has upgraded driveline parts, trans, rear, clutch, ect. Small ECS blower cam. Im ordering the UPP kit, fuel upgrade, and meth kit. Anything else I should consider? Im hoping to break 600rwhp. Thoughts? Opinions? Thanks.

If you run the Alky meth kit, make sure they know you have fender mount turbos. Your meth kit will utilize a meth tank mounted in the trunk as opposed to the standard kit using the windshield washer reservoir. Other than that, everything comes in the UPP kit. I opted to add header wrap and PTP turbo blankets just for peace of mind. I also had UPP send a SD I take pipe with the methanol bungs and IAT bung already installed.
CK is also fantastic with helping during your install. I'm in the middle of mine now and he has been a big help answering my questions.

On a C5 the windshield reservoir is mounted under the hood not in the gender well area. The UPP C5Z I'm currently working on is using factory reservoir we just mounted the pump in front bumper area instead of fender well. Had to order longer feed line to meth pump but that's it.

That would've been nice to know when I ordered my kit. When I talked to alky and told them I would be running turbos in the fenders, they told me I had to use the rear tank setup since the pump had to be within a certain distance of the tank. I haven't installed mine yet so I may look into that.
Shoaf, does the C5 you are working on have the larger 6182 turbos? Is it a recent kit or an older style?

My car has one of the kits and been through one revision, either way I think you will be super happy, right now im getting a forged 6.0 built for my car and swapping in the larger turbos and going for gold!

As long as you buy from Underpressure or any of their authorized vendors you will get the most up to date kit.

You shouldn't have any issues coming close to those dyno #'s. My 5871 base kit is daily driver capable at 10#'s and over 630rwhp.
