Advantage of Two??

What is the advantage of a twin turbo setup compared to just a big single turbo?? Is it just the spool time that is different?

Yea single would be easier to fab up. From what I have seen Twin turbo setup offers better low to mid power than single big turbos do. This is good for street driving when you are not screaming to redline racing. but if you are racing, where you keep rpms high(loose converter) a single works good.


I haven't priced turbos yet, but how much does the turbo you use in your twin turbo setup cost to buy seperately? I just which is cheaper 1 bigger turbo or two smaller ones? I assume single bigger one is cheaper.



Hey Will, did you relocate your alternator for those manifolds or does it sit above the manifold?

mine are master power t-70 units, and depending on where you get them they can be had for about $600 a peice.

alternator and power steering pump relocated to bottom passenger side of the motor
