Thanks for the info Mike. I'm aiming for 900-1000 RWHP on my next build. Sounds like I might be better off with a TT setup for streetability.

If going to a twin setup, you can use smaller turbos and a lot quiker spool and better low end torque.

To give an example, I have had 575 RWHP single turbos that peak boost and torque hits at 4500-5000. A similar setup but with twins hits full boost and torque by 3000-3500, pretty much make 150-250 more foot pounds of torque with a properly packaged twin setp over a single in the 2500-3500 RPM area.

As mentioned a twin setp is about twice as many parts and therfore getting close to twice the cost. Hope this helps.
