cheaper way would be a single like a tc78 or so can find them used for a fair price.

wierd... i started a thread like this and it got deleted... It's a matter of preference imo. I think if you value your spool rate more than twin 6x will be more up your alley than a single 9xmm turbo. You know what i mean? There are obviously more things that factor into spooling like A/R t4 or t6 flanges etc... If you are tracking or doing more highway pulls. Are you removing a/c how are you planning to route dp? this stuff will make your decision for you after you take the time to plan it out.
