Why convert to single turbo?
Why do people convert to a single turbo on their 3rd gen FD when its twi turbo? IDK i think that twin turbo is way cool! But a single turbo like a t-78 is supposed to be way faster than a twin t44? how? thanks for your help on my stupidity
what do you think?

wow, not this question again. It has everything to do with the amount of air flow the turbo can make and not the psi it makes. Not to mension heat given off my the little turbos spinning like a mother ******.

I know that a twin set up will create more heat, but wouldnt the twins spool quicker than a huge T-78 single set up(with less heat?) .... and they would both run the same psi too

At least in theory, I haven't investigated it, but I would think twin turbo on a two-rotor (each rotor dumps to its own turbo) would be preferable to single turbo in terms of power and overall driveability.

in theory, yes.
a lot of people do not know how or do not want to work on the sequential system. Slapping on a big turbo makes things much easier. You go from 50+ vacuum lines to...what, three? Four?

The problem with this is the turbo's are too small and have small eff. windows to work with. So turnig them up too much generates heat not to mention dealing with the crappy manifold design.

I'm not suggesting anything, I'm far from an expert, but I don't believe that one properly sized large would necessarily be better (and might be worse possibly) than two smaller non-sequential turbos.

As long as the twins have room to breathe (Read: not the stock manifold) they would defintely kick ***.. I'd think twin TO4E's or similar..
Ask IGY. He has twin TO4S turbos..
