Re: Re: Twin Turbo vs. Singal Turbo

Also what cuts lag off are the Exhaust linked turbos...

Re: Twin Turbo vs. Singal Turbo

lag can be eliminated by choosing the proper trim and housing for your application...and what your goals are. For street driving, you could get a nice turbo setup with minimal lag, or you could be like nissanfanatic with his TO4B that doesnt boost till about 4000K but hits hard like a beast....if you are going to have your car be a dyno queen then who gives a fuck about lag....

exactly! I dont understand why people think lag when they automatically hear turbos. People must think ALL turbos spool at like 4,000 rpms or something and that superchargers are superior. A properly sized turbo should start making boost almost instantly at wot.

Re: Twin Turbo vs. Singal Turbo

I'm only going to say one thing:

The top end is very nice.

Properly sized is a factor of what you want from your car.
