The big reason a lot of people run a single turbo is to make big power numbers. You don't usually get the quick response of a twin turbo, but once boost hits, you can make much bigger numbers. |
I think your the only 370 I didn't get to meet this past weekend
MASS produced single turbo systems are generally less expensive than MASS produced twin turbo systems because they require less accessories (turbo, wastegate, blow off valve).
Twins typically include 2 smaller turbos that produce better low end and mid range power. A single turbo typically includes 1 larger turbo that takes a bit longer to spool, but will provide a lot of top end power. I prefer the power delivery of a single turbo since I'm into drag racing. Twins are better suited for most road courses.
