if you were to buy one or the other setups, which would you go with and why?

I understand the basic concept of them, but i was thinking about situations where one would prevail over the other and wanted to hear some other input.

Assuming you had two cars exactly the same just one with single turbo and the other with twin(sequential), what exactly would be the ups and downs of each if you were racing a track with many turns?
Having a single turbo would mean more turbo lag right? but then wouldnt the twin be more touchy as in youd have to be careful on throttle makin it easier to lose it??

 

It depends on how much power you want to make and the use of the car.
You can make a single setup that runs almost like the twins with similar power.

Thus the real difference is:
(1) parts for the twins is harder to find. Majestic in Waco no longer works on them due to lack of parts and higher costs for them.
(2) twins are heavier and retain more heat.
(3) twins have a complex control system.
(4) single will cost money to convert to if your singles are in good condition and running correctly.
(5) going single will require a retune.

 

so if i wanted to, its POSSIBLE to out perform a twin sequential turbo with a single turbo set-up IF its tuned right, correct?

Ive been looking into this for sometime and have heard quite a few diffrent views
but never got a straight answer. Its possible though right?
or am i just being ignorant?

 

yes, you can definitely out perform the twins with a single. Tuning makes all the difference in the world. Just keep searching to find out which size turbo is best suited for you.

 

compound turbo!
