Default Whos running the UPP kit?

Recently purchased a UPP twin turbo kit for my built 05 c6 base, was curious to know how you guys like it?
The kit comes with the 58mm turbos which i dont think will be enough to get me to the 1000rwhp mark so will probably upgrade to the 62's

A quality 58mm will make 1000rwhp easy.

I have the UPP 62 kit on my car and it made 1027rwhp and 963tq at 15.5 lbs. I don't think you will have a problem getting to 1000rwhp. I really like my UPP kit after in installed it. It's a lot of work to put on and it can be a pain in the *** to get all the geometry right for mounting the turbos but hang in there it's totally worth it!

Thats awesome. Makes me feel better about pushing my 408 ls2 to 1000hp. I will be running dart pro 1 250cc heads. So hopefully i can get there pretty easily.

What wastegate springs are you running to achieve the 15# ?

So far so good with mine. Just tuned it last Wednesday though! lol. I'll keep you posted if anything comes apart. I have the 10lb wastegate springs. Makes around 8.5lbs on spring pressure and I run 70% duty cycle on my EBC to make 15.5.

Are y'all talking about the fender outed kit or the top mount. I'm so ready to do the top mount turbo route.

Ill be going with the fender mounted kit. The top mount looks awesome, but i wouldn't want all that clutter in my engine bay.
