Has anyone used upp turbo systems? They have a twin turbo kit that looks really nice and has good reviews from the corvette sites that have used their kits.

If anyone wants to pay for I would gladly install it and let you know how it performs ..

If only it came that way from the factory!

What are your goals for the system?

After talking to UPP he said there is really no modification needed to reach the 600hp goals. I have been reading up on this engine and it seems that if you wanted more that 600hp there is still not alot really needed but i have seen where people swapped out rods and pistons and replaced the valves and of course cam do reach levels of 800hp which also require transmission mods. I would like to shoot for somewhere in the middle around 700hp but i would definitely want to do the rods and pistons so that i know it is capable. I am looking for a salvage yukon at the auctions now so that i can build it up while still being able to drive my vehicle. I want to turbo it so that i can achieve maximum horsepower but retain best fuel economy while daily driving. I cant touch my yukon until the warranty is up (in just under a year) which is why i want to find a donor drivetrain yo build while i wait.

As a DD and for ease of installation, I would recommend a supercharger. But if you are stuck on a turbo system, it is doable.

I have always been a turbo guy! I think that turbos are more suitable for daily drivers than superchargers because SC'ers steal 25-35% of your engines power to make power whereas turbos are free, atleast that's always been my belief. I have gotten awesome mpg with high horsepower turbo cars. Granted that my turbo cars were 4 cylinder mopars but these cars all got better mpg as performance increased. Superchargers just add a load and kill mpg, just my opinion. The sc kits are not much less $ than the twin turbo kits are. I am stubborn!
