I would love the get the Twin kit but my wife would be cutting off my twins because of the price tag. Im look for the single turbo alternative due to price. Can a single turbo like an STS kit be able to have the same HP and proformance and a twin turbo kit?

I can empathize with that sentiment. haha

The answer to your horsepower question is yes...they can make the same power...so do our supercharger kits.

The key is "performance". On this platform, a supercharger kit, a single turbo kit, and a twin turbo kit will all perform differently, in a "Good", "Better", "Best" sort of way. Sure, they all make boost and more or less the same horsepower on a stock engine. The real difference is how they deliver the power, and in terms of area under the curve, it is tough to beat the twin turbo systems on this platform.

Not really :

Dynosty Nissan 350Z custom single turbo vs. Forged Performance Nissan GTR E85 - YouTube

Power under the curve, I would say this is solid and comparable to a twin kit (twin scroll kit on a stock block 04 350z, on 9psi).



As for what is good, better, best...it all depends on the driver, and what the car is being used for.


Not trying to ster things up...just saying.

So, you're trying to tell me that you would basically rather save $500 to get something like the graph you posted than get something like this?


I think the graph speaks for itself.

I agree with you that one size does not fit all...and that is why we offer so many different stages and options. People that go with our stuff can run whatever exhaust they want on both manual and automatic cars. If they want max power and go with our 3" cat-back they can do that, or use whatever off the shelf cat-back they want with whatever test pipes or HFC's they want. Internal gates or external gates, open dump or recirculating...whatever floats your boat. Not to mention that our turbo kit doesn't have to be removed to do a clutch job.

Don't get me wrong Sasha, you have clean welds and I tip my hat to you for making a viable single turbo option as a part time venture and doing a way better job of it than STS did.
