stock or single turbo?

hey. what turbo setup would give me the most engine life and reliability? some people tell me if i want the most life out of my rotary, just go stock turbos and reliability mods like koyo, dp, guages. others tell me that a single that's set on low boost is a lot more reliable than the stock twins and will keep my engine from poppin longer.

search! its been covered countless times. a single turbo setup in the first place should have all the reliability mods already since you have to basically upgrade everything. many people go with the single turbo because the stock twins have so many problems.

That's why I decided to do it.

jay3, please stop creating threads on basic reliability questions. Read the FAQ thread!

These motors don't break every day or something. There's no reason a reasonably modded motor won't last 80k miles or more. A motor at the same rwhp will last the same amount of time whether or not it has 1, 2, or 10 turbos.
