I can tell you why I chose single over twin.

Ease of install was the biggest one for me. I wanted to do it myself so I can learn as much as I can. The kits that are currently out requires quite a lot just to do the install yourself. Not only will you save time with the single turbo, you will save money. I chose the BP kit because the turbo sits low and not inside the engine bay which helps with heat. The quality of the kit is top notch. Sasha's service is also top notch so you can't go wrong with the single turbo kit that he offers.

With any kit that you choose, there will be pro's and con's. You just need to weigh the decision and choose.

Fewer turbos to break, fewer wastegates to maintain/set, fewer oil feed/return lines, less downpipe and intercooler piping, less vacuum line connections.

Specifically, the Boosted Performance setup is easier to install, maintain, etc...

Many of the traditional TT guys (RX7, Supra, etc..) have started converting to singles and OEM's have started going down the twin-scroll single route as well.

This too ^^^
