Ok, here is a question:
Is single turbo is better for all out performance in all displacements? What about driveablility? Obviously on a 'tour, if you found a place for both, each turbo would only be fed by 1.25L of displacement. Now, if you had a 4.6 Mustang, or a 5.9 Durango, you would have 2.3 to 2.95L feeding each turbo. You could put two decent sized turbos on each manifold, and not have much lag. Would this be more or less drivable than a single turbo at the same power level? Is anything I said really relevent, or are my assumptions way off?
PS I think I know what the answer is going to be, just sometimes it is better to hear is from someone else

Sorry to rehash a much talked about topic, but I have one quick question.
A twin turbo setup obviously uses two turbos, one on each manifold, and the single turbo (like the SF kit) uses just one on the front bank and the rear exhaust just goes out through pipes. My question is, would it be beneficial to have a turbo after the collector so that you are using the full exhaust to power the turbo? OUTSIDE of any packaging concerns, this is from a purely theorhetical point of view. Is the difference negligible? Is the distance of the turbo from the point of combustion providing an adverse affect? Could you now use a larger turbo, but would get nearly the same spool-up time as the T28 if mapped correctly?
