Twin or single turbo?

energiesource · July 9th, 2007, 08:13 PM

So I've decided to go with a turbo, but two questions. should i get a single turbo or a twin turbo? if i go single id get the hellion system, if i go twin, id get the hp kit.

and if i do an engine swap later will the same kit work with a 4v engine, or would i need a different setup?
thanks

Without question, go with the twin if you can afford it...not just the system but the installation.

i'd install it myself and just get it tuned at a dyno place or wherever.

TWIN TURBO FTW! just get some forged internals before the installation

go with twins. and i think the only difference between the 2v and 4v is the headers.

You can upgrade to a 76mm turbo and see around 700-800rwhp on a built motor at about 25# of boost.

coffinator6 · July 10th, 2007, 02:06 AM

how about this one. don't know what size it is but i can damn near fit my head in the inlet.

if you plan on keeping it streetable, go with twins. if you plan on racing it go with a single 85mm or 88mm. both with make ALOT of power. but as far as turbo lag on the larger ones....the new ball bearing turbos cut out alot of the lag that the older turbos had. so really it depends on what you plan on using the car for.
