after doing my own turbo pipes and stuff. i almost think it would be easier to have done a twin turbo. the only thing there is room for them but then again its always tight with a turbo in our cars.

1 single turbo is better than twins. Twins would be cool but not worth the effort IMO.

i got some pics here in this forum and on my cardomain. check the sig for a link.

1 single turbo is better than twins- rebel2k4
I Haven't been on here in a long while,Projects don't just appear overnight, even if I had the money, I like to do things right the first time so I don't have to backstep myself. I have to TOTALLY disagree that twins are in fact Better IMO. The lag i endure is quite minimum than what you would expect a (t3->3cyl.)x2. Of course I could benefit from larger turbo's, but is not necessary in my case. I spooled at/around 3000 full boost at 8psi which created 800-850 cfm's(My Father has cfm gauge that is very precise(runs off of Saphire ball-bearings), if you would like to know how many cfm's you are running I recommend you putting the gauge between your Tb and coupling for accurate measurements at which the air velocity enters your IM),EACH SETUP WILL VARY. I draw less heat than a single turbo keeping my engine bay temp cooler:hence I have less exhaust pipe twisted through the bay area, its just my mani's and down pipes(close to almost having headers with my setup)its that straight out,kinda...you'll see SOON enough after Christmas. I would NEVER TRADE MY garret t3's for any Apexi or Greddy t4 turbo. Srt4's gave me a run with the t25 setup(yes I lost about a car length,another story though)I am still on stock suspension too w/ rims that approx. weigh 40lbs including the tires! But Enough Talk here I WILL SHOW YOU MY PROOF COMING of the New Year early-mid January.

Wow okay relax.

If they are so great then why is it that the fastest supras and 300zx's switch from twin turbo to one single turbo?

I did a single turbo because it was FAR easier to setup and my turbo is good for 350 whp. I wont be hitting that too soon so it will work great.

whatever works man. I could care less, single, twin, triple. whatever. as long as its got boost :)

they switch to a huge single turbo because lag doesnt matter as much to them. wouldnt be very practically on the street though.

Sorry If I sounded Like an *** , didn't mean too. Your right boost is boost, no matter how you look at it. I don't know abou the fastest , but I do know in a magazine no TOO long ago there was a twin turbo drap supra that made a new record, think it was in the low 8's or in the 7's can't remember.But there are SEVERAL different setups you can choose from and each will work only as good as the fabricator and tuner.But you are right as long as it's an Mx and it's got boost :2thumbsup:

On straight flat racetracks where you are reved always above 4500 them a single turbo is better. Also those supras and 300Z's run without BOV's so they don't loose the boost. Did you know that? If they had BOV's they would loose too much boost and have LAGGGGGGGGGGGG! Yes that is Bad for the turbo and engine. SOme People play it like that. Others run safer twin setups that protect their engine and get the same performance sometimes. Other times not. It is kinda complecated. I suggest going to your local raceway and talking to Turbo Car owners. They know way more then me. I am just repeating what i have read/remember from what i know when i have talked to them.

the purpose of twin turbo's is for faster response. a single turbo setup makes a peakier powerband and not so flat as twin turbo's
