twins for my setup Ok, I am already bored with my setup and want to make alot more power. I have what is in my sig. I am wanting to put twins on my setup and am trying to decide which ones would work for me. I am wanting to make around 550- 600 whp with what I have motorwise, until I build a forged bottom end. I am torn between going with 2 to4b's that have .60 a/r compressor and a 1.15ar turbine, or twin t61's with .68 compressor housing and .84 ar turbine housings, or going with twin to4e's that have .50 compressor and .83 hotside. I am new to the turbo world and have done alot research but want advice from someone in the real world that can tell me what will allow me to make around 600whp with my current setup and also allow me to make more power in the future when I decide to upgrade my motor. Before anyone tells me that I should lower my compression, change heads, change cam, or go a different route, or that 600whp is not achieveable with what I have, it is. So please, only people with a good knowledge of turbo's and a real reccommendation respond. Thanks, Josh

I will be using these on my twin setup that is in the works.
Custom headers look nice and flow great, but with my glass front end I am happy to trade off a few HP to keep the underhood temps under control.
I am going to use a pair of 55mm borg warner s200's that I scored for cheap.
They flow as well as many 60mm units, so I think that they will work ok for me.
Good luck with the buildup!
Here is a pic of what the mock up looks like so far.
