You'll be fine at 12. If you're using the n3a1 twins then I would suggest keeping it at 10 but 12 will be fine. Just be ready to swap them out if you beat on them frequently.

when it comes to mileage, its more what kind of miles those turbos saw. if there "easy" miles then its cool but if theyre abusive miles then..... you know. the decision to go single or stay twins is a rabbit hole of information factors but long story short, if you want a simpler engine bay and more linear power go single. if you like the response and low cost of the twins, then stay twins. i would say so long as your current twins arent smoking or leaking oil then run them until they do so. replacing them with the engine in the car sucks so i wouldnt bother with them unless it was necessary.
