CA Single or Twin Turbo?

I've been contemplating whether if I should leave my engine just as twin turbo or should I convert it to single turbo?

Who is to know.

How much power do you want to make, how much money do you have, and what is the primary use for the car?

Going single turbo has a lot of advantages: reduced heat in the engine bay, reduced complexity, a less cluttered easier to work on car. You can buy turbos for anything from twins-like performance to a monster hp car.

Like Aaron said it just depends on your goals and how much money you have.

Do yourself a favor though and stay away from ebay specials.

In CA, going single has one big disadvantage - you can't pass the visual test for the smog test.
