I would stick with the APS and then if it is not enough for you, wait for their turbo upgrade and you will be golden! Was it WS6Reaper who scammed you?

Yeah would see what the kit can do first and then maybe upgrade the turbos down the road if you want more. Besides would like to see what kind of numbers you can pull out of the base kit.

You'd need a massive single turbo to produce the same power as the twin turbos (100 lbs per minute mass air flow at minimum) and you won't achieve as much power/torque under the curve with the large single turbo.
