WhichTwin turbo kit has the most potential for hp?
I think whenever TurboTim builds his engine and raises boost that thing is going to be bad. If im not wrong he was making 439 WHP and 440 lbs of tq at 8.5 psi with only an exhaust on stock block i think thats what it was so yea +1 for SFR TT kit

This is great streetable combo on a stock block , but note they are on the small side of the spectrum when compared against the mass air flow potential of the base APS TT (~800bhp), Greddy (a little more) and SFR ( more yet). Upgrade the 530BBs for 700BBs and you'd be closer to the others in potential.

+1 for the SSR/SFR 60-1 kit.
Even with just T3's the kit had good numbers and with the bigger turbos I think it has the most potential. Plus in my case i didnt need the injectors or engine managment they supplied so they took it out and discounted the price, you arnt stuck with everything thats in there kit.

Another good thing about our kit is the different options, you aren't stuck with our engine management or the turbos we choose, you can pick anything from T3s to GT35/40Rs if you want. You aren't going to have to upgrade twice with our kit

Turbo AT
Sinc we are on turbos, is it logical to turbo an automatic? I have an 05 touring, thinking about FI, what do i have to do to the transmission to handle 500 whp? I have had many offers to install, just want to know would there be much of a difference.

Add 10 more ft/lbs. of torque and then you got it right
That was on a Dyno Dynamics too.The car is so stock which is what is amazing.Stock spark plugs and gap,stock cams,stock plenum,clutch,etc......Just a couple turbos and exhaust, oh and I added an LSD.The thrust is definetely much improved 
So far there is 2500 hard pulling miles on it so we will see how it holds up especially when we turn up the boost in the next couple of weeks and redyno
Meatbag will be the first to try this set-up on a built motor,nice heads and cams,etc........I think some people will be surprised.As a matter of fact, the people with Greddy kits will be selling them to buy some SFR kits.Just kidding 
But we do have have a customer who is interested in selling his complete Greddy turbo system if anyone is interested?

Autos are great to turbocharge.We are installing this turbo kit on an Auto right now.I think the valvebody and torque convertor is a must if you are trying to make 500whp.Maybe even building the tranny.We offer these parts and services too.
