is a single 88 to big for a 408?
is a single 88 to big for a 408? Is a single 88 to big for a 408? I am thinking of either running twin 68's or a single 88. Its 99% street driven so I think twins would spool way faster but is it worth the extra $? I can get a gt4788 for around $1200 or I can get twin tc68's for around $1700, not to mention the extra Wg, flange, Dp, and all that fun stuff.
One good thing about the twin set up is usually better spool time and a higher potential for more power.
I had a single 76gts on my 347 and now I have twin 66's. I am waiting on a turbo to come back from Tnetics and than I will get it running.
My TC66's are T4 flange and with the 38mm gates I have, I can sell the 66's and go all they way to twin 78's down the road. It would take a larger single than a 4788 as well as changing the hot parts to get the power of twin 78's over 1 GT55 or something similar.

I'm new to turbos, but the 88mm is not too big. As for a Twin set up being better than a single, I don't know... I have seen some Fast single turbo cars that spool up very fast.
I'm building a single 66mm system for a stock 346 LS1. I'm looking for around 500-550rwhp.
But, good luck with the build and post up some pics if you can we all would love to see.

an 80 mm will get you into boost faster and more than handle your goals.
