Default UPP c5 z06 install issues?

I'm up in the air on going s/c or UPP's kit and s/c kits are pretty straight forward with decent mechanical abilities but how is it installing the UPP kit. A friend of mine has it on his c6 and he said that it took some work and excessive cutting to get everything to fit right. I've also seen there is a "revised" version of the UPP kit as well. Any insight would be greatly appreciated.

I'll be able to let you know in the next few weeks. I just finished installing my new motor in the car; next step is to install the UPP twin turbo kit. I'll start a build thread once I get going with the turbo kit itself.

The TT kit is definitely more involved as far as install goes. If you take your time and plan all the cutting and modifying out before just hacking away at it then it's not bad at all and I think it's kinda fun to see it all come together. I've done both and at least you don't have to remove the steering rack to pin the crank lol.
