Why are there so few twin turbo setups on here?

Cost of a single vs twin setup is dependent upon the turbo or turbos you choose. I have a single and could of bought twin Precisions and still had money left over. I also always run two smaller gates vs a single and two BOV's so for me to achieve what I am going for could have been done a little cheaper.

I still miss shutting down and hearing a GTX5533 wind down as I walked around the front of the truck. S300's don't do that. Sure like the price difference though.

What was the price difference of both setups? I know going twins on mine would net me around 4-500 bucks savings.

I would not say any.. But this about sums it up. More complicated, more cost, but much more bauce.

I decided on twins for my RX-7. Just finished Welding up the manifolds tonight. Pics when I am done with the oiling.

You know properly setup twins will out preform any single setup. That's why you went with twins I challenge you to find a V8/10/12/16 production car/super car that uses 1 turbo now a days. Hell there might be one but I don't know of it.

Given similar compressor and turbine capacity the results will be similar. Don't think so physics>>you

Vx production engines running twins. I mean that doesn't make sense for packaging with opposed banks does it deputy dur

God tech is so full of failure

Oh man that burns coming from you.. I'm surprised that someone with as much track time as you continues to make such ignorant statements. I wish my car was done so you would finally shut your mouth.

Ok I'm sorry, your right you are an internet expert. Thanks for clearing that up.

I'm sorry I didn't get into the simple math that explains why two small turbine turbos chargers are better than one big one. Maybe next time I'll try and spell it out for slow people such as yourself.

"Given similar compressor and turbine capacity the results will be similar"

Yeah becuase that's not a blanket awnser at all.. Not even remotely similar to "two appropriately sized turbos are better than one large one"


Quick Reply: Why are there so few twin turbo setups on here?
