Why are there so few twin turbo setups on here?

I don't see the point regardless. Why add another break point/high stress point?
He doesn't need the efficiency of an unlocked stator down track with an 80e when he can lock the converter when the stator would become active anyway
If he locks the converter out the back it will back half unbelievably well
My 2 cents

went single for reasons stated. less of a jungle gym in the engine bay. Big single will make just as much as some twin setups, if not more, depending on how big the twins are. I think my single can lay 1450-1500 to the tires without any help. Spool time is a little slower, but the stall, and people not having transbrakes or good tunes plays a factor too. How much "instant" power do you really need on the street is my question. at some point your going obliterate the tires, have to turn the controller down to get it started then feed boost back in once the car has momentum. most of us arent running 33'' slicks on the street. thats why I think c02 is the way to go these days....almost like a poor mans traction control.

Perhaps that is the assumption I am wanting you to get. This way you'll be thinking that you'll have it in the bag when it breaks. But in all actuality its only 1 solenoid as it is a dry system

Too busy..working on cleaning it up now, which is why I am going through this chaos. Thank you though.
Yessir. My hood turned yellow prior to heat shielding above turbo housings... but I buffed it out, easily, wrapped everything, never had another issue.
I do cook my breakfast on it though from time to time.

twin turbo
only reason I went with twin turbo TTiX kit on the C5 is packaging
very costly and complex, and not really the best for racing as the turbos can become a limiting factor, but only at hp levels way above what I can hook
I'm at 800 rwhp which seems to be the "sweet spot" for running a reasonable tire
boost by speed maybe the secret to planting more or a full blown traction control system that can handle it.

Curious, FRC with Zo6 brake ducts? Did they ever cross over? Nice CCW's btw!

They never made a SILVER FRC...only pewter...so, either it's a painted FRC....or it's a dabadged Z06.
I have an FRC...NON Z06...I bought factory Z06 ducts...and installed them into my rocker panels. No rocket science(the install). Everyone still thinks I have a "de-badged Z06".
Good looking ride though either way.
