Which lead to said problems. 98 I was really hoping you could figure it all out.

Fast forwarded through it... Why would someone wanna go single turbo on a V6..?? I could understand on an I4... or I6 like a bimmer...

Allows for a bigger turbo. More potential up top but more turbo lag down low.

ClemsonWill · 05-25-2011, 01:27 PM

Plus it's cheaper than TT.

So just for big numbers/distinction, not really streetable...?

More high-end power for drag racing, from what I understand.

But what good is that when the turbo doesn't spool up till you're halfway down the track??

Honestly more power to him for taking on the project, but it just seems like trying to find room to route all the exhaust/intake piping seems like it's more of a hassle than just settling for an S/C or a TT...

Pics look great, but wow lol

It can be streetable but most use them for big power. Would not be track friendly at all. Look at the supras and Rx7s. Most hitting really high WHP are using a single turbo setup.

I give props to him for trying something new. It's uncharted territory Give it a few years when our cars can be had for cheaper. The single turbo setups will probably be more desireable.
