Why are there so few twin turbo setups on here?

Less of a headache. The kit will be more simple and easier to work on. I love my APS kit, but it is a bear to work on. Also big(ger) singles are coming down in price, which makes it that much easier to switch when the time comes.

Well no ****, look at my join date compared to yours and taking into account your posts in this thread I think I can make that statement based on the facts alone. 
If you want to argue with somebody or learn something do it with somebody else as I'm not interested, I'm just here getting a good laugh at your expense.

Dang drama hi jacked my thread, not what I was looking for. As for the above, two giant singles makes big twins! Add some nitrous to make up for the lag! Problem solved. But in all honesty, laying out the plans for my twin setup on my truck "theoretically" seemed like less of a plumbing nightmare. I could be wrong, still putting off the tear down till shop temps drop below 120 degrees again then I'll find out and keep anyone concerned up to date with pics.

Do small turbos ever reach a boost ceiling or max capacity? For example, are 66 mm turbos capable of producing 20 pounds of boost when run in tandem or is that just wishful thinking? I know there are certain variables, and I need to dig the turbos I have out. I don't have the slightest clue the details on them other than they're 66mm.

I was just looking for some technical assistance and enjoyed the hell out of the first few pages with those killer build pics.

Here are a few Ive done. In my opinion twins on the street are a more enjoyable combo. Want 1000whp on a 5.3? Well thats going to take a sizeable single turbo that will likely spool a little slower unless the planets are aligned perfect and require a 4"+ dp while a set of 6262's would work great and anyone can get a 3" downpipe to fit. Engine compartment looks more symetrical if looks matter. They do to me. The big thing I've learned after doing a bunch is to plan EVERYTHING out before starting. There is a reason the top car builders put the entire car together to mock everything and then take it apart to make it pretty.
To you guys arguing like girls, good grief give it a rest. Everyone has a different knowledge and skill level.

Are these the Up and Forward headers/manifolds? Did you build your own elbows with the wastegate flange or did you buy those? I am looking for that exact setup.

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.But modern twins can do more with less weight and better packaging. You can have twin t4's in S Covers that can make 1600 whp. Hell we made 1000whp with a 67mm based turbo on a baby 4 banger. Nuts! I mean that was unheard of even 5 years ago. I have a good friend that is a lead aero engineer for Garrett that broke this down many moons ago when a similar argument was made.
