About to pull the trigger. Input needed. About to grab this

This would be going on my 02 ss A4 with Longtubes. No nitrous. My goals are 500whp with my car as it sits now + this kit.
Does anyone see any issues with this setup? Anything I need to know?

And my buddy has twin 66's but on a built 6.0L and does 1000whp and did 199mph in the 1/2 mile Shift-S3ctor event in April. Again I stress!!!!! It was built reason why it would take twin 66's. IMO anything bigger then to much lag and no fun on a stock motor :-(

If it really is a 67mm turbo you'll want a bigger one for sure. You can get a tc78 for like 750 from vendors on here. Personally I was going to do a rear mount setup but I just decided to go front mount. It is a little more expensive but I feel its better. But it seems like a decent deal.

If I had the money I would grab it. Thats a deal for a complete kit IMO. I've seen them go for sale at over $3k...
Shouldn't be hard to hit your 500whp goal that you want. With a good tune you should have a fun ride. You can always upgrade the turbo down the road and up the boost

On a stock LS1 its fine and good up to 600whp. A stock LS1 is only good for 550whp as the rods are a weak link. So a 67mm is good enough for now and if he ever builds a stout bottom end he could upgrade the turbo and go to like a 76mm.

After 600whp on a stock bottom end LS1 you just taking a guess when that block is gonna give...and its most likely sooner then later. Thats why tell friends if they stock bottom end on a LS1 to stay 550whp or below just to longevity. And stay on top of the maintenance a lil more.

Isn't there a few stock longblock LS1s pushing 800 whp? The weak point is more often the tune than the hardware.
