I would do the T66 before you run the 60-1. You already have a built motor and UTEC so why run the 60-1 at the end of it's efficiency range. Hell there are a few people running twin 60-1's on here.
They are pushing 60-1 Hifis with a Stage III turbine. Those turbos are good for abour 500 WHP EACH so yeah twins of those would work. But a 60-1 Full Size with a Stage V turbine can get you at LEAST mid 500s with the right tuning and other mods. Besides the T66 for this kit is going to be a custom setup to make it fit in the current turbo location so its going to take a while before they actually have some available for sale.
Well the full size 60-1 also can be machined into the Greddy TD05 turbos and there are a few on here doing that. Sorry, I had no idea it would take turbo relocation. I thought it would just be a machining and porting of the housing and a compressor change.

yes I know someone who is doing the 60-1 wheel on their Greddy turbos now (won't divulge names). The T66 wheel should fit into the compressor housing but I think there was some concern about the A/R on the compressor side by doing that. They are still looking it to see what would work best. Aside from that the T66 turbo typically comes with a T4 turbine section but Turbonetics still wanted to look at using the Stage V turbine they use with the current turbo and see if it would work just as well (less piping changes). They currently run a .73 A/R on the turbine side and I know they thought about going a little bit bigger there too to give better top end flow for those planning to run 20+ PSI on the T66. All in all I'd just say that Turbonetics wants to look at it a little more before they start sending them out. Starting with low to mid 500s would be what I would do. Then just wait till early summer when the T66 setup has been fully tested and make the switch. Either way he wont pay full price for it. Turbonetics is offering an upgrade path for all of the kits.
That makes sense. Thanks MIA. It'll be interesting to see what kind of numbers these people(that shall go nameless) will be getting power wise with sleeved blocks and bigger twins. This summer alot of questions will be answered.

No worries...yes I too am interested in seeing what kind of power the twin 60-1/Greddy units make also.
i say 475 on built motor? make sure when you get it home you take it to a local dyno and dyno it your self. Not saying they are not going to dyno it right but the change of where you live alt. and sea level play a role in your power to. But i think it will be 475 on around 12-13.5psi
so you guys are saying the stock 60-1 tha comes w/ the kit takes up too 20psi to reach 500whp....why so much
You obvioulsly aren't very familiar with compressor charts or efficieny of specific design. The 60-1s in a single config make their best power at 15-18 PSI or less. After that the compressor starts moving into a lower band of efficiency. Thats why there is a Stage II. Maybe learn compressor efficiency and compressor maps..
well if you know as much as you say/act you do, you wouldn't have had to ask it, dumbass. Research stuff, don't just bull**** your way through the forum. And by research, I don't mean, post questions. Go out and read some books. You know, learn. Tough as it may seem.
