big single turbo vs twins
i just built a single pt88 for my car last year and now im installing two 62 turbos on the car.
the fab work was alot easier on the single and about $1000 cheaper on the single
this was the old set up..
new set up is being built.

THANK YOU
I love building new things.. and truthfully the twins are for some wow factor when i pop the hood.
The times are in my sig for the stock 5.3/88, I think the car would have easily went in the 9s with a trans brake but had a buyer for the 88.
I have been 100% procharger guy for about 8yrs and a buddy talked me into building a turbo set up for the car......I will probably never look back.

Twins simply because it looks and sounds better when you say it lol. They can be more expensive depending whose turbos you run but when packaged right and somewhat symmetrical it just looks and feels right
I did twins because of the coolness factor. Garage built by a buddy and I. Ive never built a single setup before but I can see where itd be way simpler. Lots of wrench throwing and cussing went into this but we got it done. Never fabbed anything prior to this either. Twin TC66s on a 390ci

A BIG part of how they respond is the size of the compressor wheel.
99% of people want the biggest comp wheel that they can buy for that turbo.
It takes energy to turn that larger wheel and if you are only going to use 75% or less of it's potential then your trading response for "bench racing stats".
Most could get by with the old tried and true 57 trim good for about 425 each or the 60-1 good for about 550 hp each.
But No, I gotta have turbos with the mathematical potential of 1500hp but most do good to make 650 hp to the tires for one reason or another.
