Default Twin Turbo recomendation please!

Hi, posted a while back and got some great info on turbo's, including the budget BORG units, and master power. I want to weigh the pro's and con's of going twin turbo vs big single. I know the small twins will spool sooner, yet cost more. The question, is how much more! Anybody have a recommendation on a decent pair of cost-effective twins, that will work well in the mid 650rwhp range with a 6.0? Thanks! -JH

Nice to see you again! As far as twins, I thought about going twin T70's, but decided to go with a single S480. Was kind of up in the air about it, back and forth, and the wife finally bitched me into getting a single turbo and stop being "greedy". If I were you, I'd run twin T61's, they're inexpensive and will easily get you that 650rwhp you're looking for!
