I think any turbo setup ,single or twin, can be efficient and make good power, if properly designed. I went single for the cost factor. And i also like the look of one big turbo under the hood. (not saying mine is huge or anything)

So far from everything I read it seems that icon was the best kit made. They make great power and they seem to last for a long time.

cheaper then you can get them now.
but probably because half the people who put money down for them never got their kits.

Yep, a few of us early buyers got the stage I for 4400! They did go up to 5500 after the intro - and most of the people who were screwed paid that figure

If I ever sell my kit it'd go for 6k.
