they dont clear the lower intake manifold. plus, theres no secondary oil drain, etc. Its not worth it. The single better, and far far less complicated.

they dont equal ****....there are plenty of people that keep the turbos and convert them to non sequential and make upwards of 350-400hp of those turbos

well for one thing, its free (twin turbos come stock).
secondly they don't boost spike.

they are set up so that the first one/rear one spools up all the time and the second one comes online at 4500rpm
