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.

Verdad Gallardo 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.
