thanks for any and all advice on the twin turbo matter, after much consideration I decided to go with the IPF S/C, just seems like the best choice for me. Now to anyone who already has the IPF installed I post this question. Would I need new plugs? I've read a few people on here who just ran with stock components, but I'm just curious, I would like it to run as efficiently as possible.

It's not needed but my car ran a lot smoother with the colder heat range plugs and with the gap recommended by Arno.If you need anymore info you can always pm me.

I also have the most base LS Camaro 2012, my car rips, look for my build thread... Still on stock plugs, but considering a change. I have over 20k miles now on my system, so the plugs should be changed...

It's a nice kit. It makes pretty decent power. I think you made a good choice. There will always be someone faster but you'll be the "someone faster" a lot more than you won't.

Car ran great on the stock plugs, but you should be using colder plugs, I used AutoLite iridium plugs XP5263 ($6 apiece)

there is no welding involved, it is a truly bolt-on kit. very easy and straight forward to install.

these are journal bearing turbos, they need no coolant, just oil feed/return. everything is included in the kit.

Anyone else install this one on a 2012 V6 yet, results?
it's a bolt-on kit. if you get a complete package, it will come with plugs. it made 460 rwhp on an automatic!
