What are advantages and disadvantages of a single turbo vs twins

That's a loaded question with a lot different ways to set up an application for different purposes. The main advantage for a single is less costly, with twin you have 2 turbos, wastegates, more piping ect. Single turbos were also away to make things simple & more room friendly but with the twins that are coming out nowadays are very thought out especially with the under mounts putting the turbos in place of the cats. It's very good way to defeat the heat because the car is already reinforced for heat in those areas. These turbo company have it figured out with ball bearings, billet wheels A/R, piping size & ect. turbo lag is almost a thing of the past now. Even with the bigger single turbos they can hit just as hard as PD's especially loaded with stalls or brake boosting & 2 steps.

What really amazes me is how well these cars seem to handle under the hood temps from turbo kits begin so close to engine components. Looking at how close this turbo kit is & even some of the pictures of the Hellion kit I've seen it would look like a heating nightmare. But these company's kits are very proven & there's no doubting the Hellion kit on this platform. Some of the highest hp per lb of boost cars are coming from these companies with the track times to back it up with no reports of over heating issues or melted components. (Unless I've missed something?)

Haven't the turbo kits only been around a few months? I question if there are enough of them out there for any long term reports. I know there are some and the guys seem to be enjoying them. Just not sure if they've been out and around on this platform long enough to really say they are totally great yet? Just my thoughts on it.

I saw this kit at MW. It's a work of art.

Shawn, is it fair to say, this kit is designed more for track than a DD car? So far, we haven't got any info from the vendor.

It doesn't look like the AC will fit TBH, my buddy saw it at MW

Imagine driving this car in summer time in Orlando with no A/C

Maybe, it's a good practice time to get used W/O A/C... :cheers:

Yeah, to hell with that. I live in Alabama, and anyone I know would be sweating like a chore in hurch with no a/c.

If I was in the market for a single turbo I would run this kit on my DD. I spoke to Aaron briefly about the kit but I didn't ask any questions as to that since I needed to get back over to the booth.

if your in the market for a single turbo kit for the S550.....this is kind of your only option at the moment.

will you be selling this kit at your store?

It's not the only option. Edp performance has a single turbo kit. I'm having it installed in less then 2 weeks with a precision 76/75 turbo.
