Question really isn't whether to go single or stay twins, but rather how much discretionary income and time do you have?
Not meaning to come across as 'Pops', but I can't begin to count the number of new enthusaists that find themselves caught up in a FD financial nightmare. Definitely not a car if you don't want 'hassles' (though I'll argue, most times, worth it though).

Am I wrong when I say it's always best to go single when making big power regardless the platform? I personally think you should got single... I;m going to stick to my twins for the meen time.

I've learned that it depends on what your plans are for the car.
If you are driving it on a daily basis- twins (brn/ 99 spec)
If you are driving it as a weekend warrior- Single
I'm going with the single and am currently researching a setup
that will make it possible to drive on a daily basis.
Seach helps.

going single or staying twin does depend on your budget but also what you want to get out of the car. I you want big power (450hp and up) and love lighting up the 1/4, then single is the way to go. However, if you like doing autoX and taking the car out road courses, then staying with a twin setup might be better.
Just remember, going single turbo dosent always mean more power - there are several members on here with a"stock like" twin setup making more power than some of the single guys.
