No. Even with a smallish .64 gt28, there's a dramatic power increase all the way up to redline. It's all in the turbo sizing. You could get a smaller single turbo and see the same kinds of spool times you see with twin kits. You could get two larger twins that have the same amount of lag as a single.

This would be awesome. Have the turbos feed a roots blower.
