Don't know a lot about turbos besides power numbers so sorry But then again how is a teenager supposed to know that. HKS has good blow off valves and all the stuff associated with that but thats what I heard don't trust me 100%. Then again I think HKS has good everything except exhausts

T100!!!! Never heard of that!
Basically just sizing. Higher number is bigger. 78 is comparable to 3540. (around there)

T-88 is the biggest I have ever heard of.
Biggest one they use in japan is the T88H-34D or something like that. I guess the H and 34D stuff is slightly different housings, compressors etc etc.

The T88H is massive, The guy that is helping me do the T51 SPL in the skyline is putting an 88H in his Supra. They make a T100 but it is a special order item that is not typically sold to just anybody. The 88H is the largest "over the counter" turbo that is out there as far as I know.

Is there a benefit of going with a single?

Only for racing mate. For drivability and good power twins are still the choice.

You could go with medium single such as a single 3540 or even a GT42R. They are double roller bearing and spool decent. power out put would around the 700ish hp.

700, that is a little too much.

I'll be happy with some cheap 2530s, set-up right.

Yep 2530's are the way to go, but dont expect that much power, around 300RWKW.
2540's will give u about 30RWKW more but a much bigger lull in the centre.

2530's for the street would be perfect.
Saying that a lot of ppl go single for the simple fact it is cheaper because u only need one turbo.
Most ppl in OZ seem to get single T-78.

Heck, by the time you do a single it cost just as much as a straight bolt-on twin.

You have to change all the exhaust plumbing, don't you?

I would easly give 50hp, for a more streetable power band.

I will always tune an engine on the safe side, because I know there will always be someone out there faster than me

a single turbo has just as easy as a tune factor as 2 turbos. Your simplifying everything.

Most much larger than standard turbos u will nedd to redo exhaust etc - but getting custom manifold etc isnt THAT expensive.
And who said tuning single turbo was easier than twin?, looked back and couldnt see anyone who said that.
