Search. This topic has only been covered 1,000,000 times.

It depends on your application. If you want to put the big numbers, then a large single turbo is what you'll need. If you want a small upgrade, the BNR's are great too.

Hey bro, you're not too far from me

Alot of people ask this question. You should do a search and you'll see that each kind of setup is for a different goal. Some people want the high numbers a single gives and some want the fast response of sequential twins.

In the end, twins are alot less expensive. Even if yours are bad, you can buy a good set starting at around $300.

BTW, did you just get the car? It looks alot like the car this guy I know David was selling a while back.

You spelled 'rotary' wrong in your custom user text.

Also, define 'better' and we can help you more

yeah those stock twins will burn that motor to a crisp.

I think it pretty much comes down to this, You wanna go fast? You have money? Go Single.
