Recommendations for Turbo Combos?

Now that I've decided to keep the rotary motor in my FC, I'm curious what would be most potent as far as turbo options are concerned. Should I use two small turbos? One small, one Large? Or two large? I would appreciate and and all opinions with some desciption as to why one would be better/worse than the other. Also, any brand recommendations are also appreciated. My personal fav. is HKS.

Thx,
Rabbit

Money is not an option...I'm looking for highest accelleration and top speed attainable. Looking for a balance between accel. and speed. So I'm thinking a small turbo for the low end accelleration and a larger for the top end speed.

18 and money is not an option, I wish I could be like you. Why don't you wait till the Lotus Elise come out in America? That car is just sick and at $40,000, a bargain.

Loving the quote, by the way.

LOL, sorry for not clarifying...What I meant by money was not an option was that I'm looking for something to work towards. I'm not looking at how much money I have now. I'm simply making a list. A Proxy if you will.

It's kool, I appreciate people calling me on those things. Keeps me from seeming to be someone im not.

Would the 20B spool two large turbos? Or would I need to spray in order to get them goin?

Bridge'd 13b will spool 2 large turbos.

20b's are insane. There is a guy in the single turbo section with 630rwhp @ 13psi, full boost @ 2800rpms! It cane handle to big turbos no problem
