Why are there so few twin turbo setups on here?

In terms of efficiency area, by the numbers a properly sized single would be more efficient. 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. 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.

Touché, I should have specified my argument from the get go. Turbo technology really has come a LONG way recently. Being around a lot of high horse power skittles I have seen what just a single 67/66 can do as well. A buddy of mine is squeezing 970whp out of one of those.

We attempted, but ran into several issues. The alternator took a crap on me while I was at the track, and the exciter wire plug was toasty from excessive heat.
Made 3 passes and none are to brag about.
Not to mention that I can't keep a 4L80E alive for more than 200 miles.
I will be on my 4th 4L80E this next round. It is currently out of the car for repairs along with the converter.

Ah that blows. I'd go see dave klaput, friends are running his 80es at 1kwhp multiple seasons untouched. Fairly local to u too.
If I was a betting man is guess u have a Jakes now
Good luck

Here's one we're in the final stages of touching up
We have a few others coming together too. Who doesn't love twins??

Locally built 80Es with Jake's 36 element super drum, billet input, billet intermediate. I had a Jake's D3 brake and swapped it out for a Rossler. I am running a PTC spragless converter (I didn't know it was spragless). I am getting a mechanical diode installed in the converter now.

Carl Rossler builds the best around thats for sure.
