Default twins???

What's the real advantage of twins over single turbo. Debating whether to buy a single front mount 70mm kit from KB or buy 2 60mm and build my own

With your setup and the correct size turbo a single will be more then enough. The reason I went twins on my build is because if I went single I would have to go with a big single turbo with a big exhaust side to keep back pressure down. Going that route I would have had to pick either low end quick spool but sacrifice top end pull or top end power but laggy down low. With twins with alot smaller exhaust sides you get super low backpressure (remember 2) quick spool and pull through the whole power range. Also my motor is a 7.0L so choice for single turbos that would feed my motor and provide low backpressure was slim and expensive.

two smaller turbo's spool faster than one big one. single turbo is what i would do just for cost reasons.

I wouldn't spend the money on a tt setup unless I was also dishing out the money for a big CI forged motor. Chances are you are only shooting for ~550hp which can easily be obtained with a single turbo. But twins do look mean as **** under the hood though

Damn, does that thing stay in 4wd all the time? I still haven't got my tune lined out and my little 70mm turbo will break my heavy 305's loose fairly easy.
