I always wonderer what would be a better set up.Twin small turbos or a big Single turbo. I been reading in the internet and ppl have a lot of different opinion about this. I was wondering if someone here had some hard fats about this two different set up.
Twin turbos vs single turbo

Entirely dependent on what you want from the car.
I want to make about 1000hp. Mostly for Street racing.
Sounds like your going to want a TT setup if those are the goals for the car.
Twin 61's or a single T76 or bigger will get you what you want. If you want to run away from everything on the highway, get yourself a big single and a ton of fuel.
So many things factor into this its not even funny. I went with a big single because the install has less piping, the oil drain is all gravity (no extra pump to deal with), everything is under the hood so the front bumper cover can stay on the car when I need to access the turbo, Less turbos to rebuild if something goes wrong.
Well thats just a few out of the many that made me go the direction I did.

Im getting rid of the a/c and putting twins under the hood. No need for scavenger pumps. But everything you said is correct. Its gonna cost a bit more money but IMO TT is the way to go!!
^^^im with ruthless
I have forward facing tubular headers and was able to keep my A/C. Not sure why you would need to take yours out. Like I mentiond above...So many things factor in and a 76mm single just fit my needs to a T but then again thats different for everyone.
So in short...you will never get the "Whats best" answer because to many factors come into play. However if you want the best tubro kit be it single or twins I would recommend skipping the "off the shelf kits" and getting a custom kit. I cant stress enough how much cleaner custom kits are and the amount of time it takes to get them that way.
hard to argue with that logic :shrug:
to the OP. i've had friends with both setups.....granted its small sample size, but only the TT car impressed me
More info please. In what way was it more impressive?
I rarely use my ac and i lived in south FL for 4 years. Id rather save the 40 lbs to help even out the added weight of the turbos+
If i was going to do a single i go with a divided style housing to help with spooling.
The th400 and the BB billet 76mm are going to help with my spooling. :rockon:

How long you been running the billet wheel for? Ive heard of some people have issues with them.
My car was just finished today but hasnt been tuned yet. Look up Juiced46, he has been running the turbo for a while now.
This is the first time I have ever heard anything bad about the billet wheels. Fill us in on the issues that you have heard about.

on my ported eaton setup i beat two T76 Cobras, i've also ran RAZRS EDGE's old built HPP TT car and rode in it...it was so powerful i couldn't believe the difference after all i've heard of turbo power on Cobras. One of the T76 cars had a built motor, one had a stock motor. built motor car had like 21-22psi and barely lost to me....but the stock motor car, i annihilated!
it could be sample size, but i'm just saying i wouldn't turn down a race, especially with my new setup

Sorry but I stopped after the first turbo Cobra race. That driver just needs smacked in the head. How can he roll race and not brake boost a turbo car? :shrug:

valid point, but there's some variables on the street and ultimately it's "run what ya brung"
however, with my new setup, i don't care what either of those two do.....they're lucky i didn't spray on those runs, i really would've embarrassed them.
