single or twin?
hi, just a general wonder... i know single turbo is better for top end performance and speed, but is a single or twin better as 'a turbo' cos i take it both have pro's and cons yet which is 'the better turbo' for a supra? i like how singles sound more, but which (both on a car with 800hp) would be 'better'?
 thanks nath

The aftermarket single has two primary advantages over aftermarket (parallel) twins: 1) Cost. and 2) Reliability. You might find these additional clarifications useful:

oh, theres a vicious common beleif, you hear it on youtube for example a huge amount, turns you they're wrong then
 whats the difference in cost between the single and twin (parallel)? and how much more reliable? thats weird because i knew it would be more reliable.. just makes sense.. one turbo over two XD  and i know singles are aftermarket only, and only twins are available stock or aftermarket, but was just a general wonder and finding out jobbie. thanks for the info  nath
