twin turbo

i've read that most people trade in their twins for one single large turbo. my brother-n-law and me were talking and just thought we would ask what kind of twin turbo set up are peolpe running on their rx7's. we were thinking that a good set up would be 2 t60 and this is the place to ask it.

a pair of t60s are too large and laggy for an FD, not mention a fitment nightmare. Some guys run one of them, but not two.

To see some upgraded twins, click the dyno link in my sig.

The type of turbo upgrade you go with (twins, or single) really depends on what you want to do with the car. If you want high HP numbers, go with a big single. If you plan to do any road racing or anything like that, the BNR's are probably the best option in the twins category.

sink? as in kitchen sink

with one large you are going to get lag. you'll need a gt35r, apexi rx6, etc to minimize lag.

I think he means sink as in "seq"ential. That's the only thing that makes sense to me.

I like the sounds of the new A-Spec 500R. Lots of power, and still very responsive.
