Good luck getting everything fixed man!

Ok so bit of a noob question here, what are the advantages if a single turbo kit over a twin turbo? Is it just cost or other things as well? Thanks

Blades-- there are quite a few benefits to running a single turbo. Probably best to discuss most of the out of Ryan's thread

Single turbo setups are usually cheaper and easier to setup, and they tend to be easier to shoehorn in, as the systems are typically much less complex.

The big reason a lot of people run a single turbo is to make big power numbers. You don't usually get the quick response of a twin turbo, but once boost hits, you can make much bigger numbers.

I think your the only 370 I didn't get to meet this past weekend

MASS produced single turbo systems are generally less expensive than MASS produced twin turbo systems because they require less accessories (turbo, wastegate, blow off valve).

Twins typically include 2 smaller turbos that produce better low end and mid range power. A single turbo typically includes 1 larger turbo that takes a bit longer to spool, but will provide a lot of top end power. I prefer the power delivery of a single turbo since I'm into drag racing. Twins are better suited for most road courses.

Haha, yeah, a custom build is always an expensive beast.

I stopped by a couple times, but I think you were pretty mobbed with people most of the time

.

I was even more impressed with the quality of the install in person-- I really hope you get the throttle position stuff worked out. I believe the Z will respond better to a single turbo setup than it has to the twins.

I realize that I could have easily googled it, but who wants to do that at 4 am
