Ryan I saw the car this weekend. I loved the stance of the car. I have a few pics I'll try and add sometime.

Finally got a chance to catch up on this thread. Sorry to hear about the PS pump. But on a positive note, you have a really impressive car. I can't wait to see the pictures and videos.

Thanks, Will. Another positive note, I've got to sleep in an extra hour Mon/Tues morning.

I can't wait to get home to edit my photos and GoPro...although I didn't take a single picture of my car. There is one GoPro video where I mounted the camera on the fang of the bumper...you can hear the turbo spool, wastegate, BOV, and it was the hardest run I did all weekend. It's pretty intense...I hit 100mph:driving:

Single turbo setups are usually cheaper and easier to setup, and they tend to be easier to shoehorn in, as the systems are typically much less complex.

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 realize that I could have easily googled it, but who wants to do that at 4 am :p

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.

Thanks for the info guys :tup:

Well, Nissan's driver was sick today and couldn't deliver the part. Z1 had a guy call in sick and someone else didn't come in, so they are short handed. The service manager offered me his car to drive down to Atlanta an hour away and get the part, but it's too late for me to make it back home for work tomorrow anyways. So I'm stuck here another day.
