On our platform, a good single turbo setup with a good EBC would accomplish what a good twin turbo setup is designed to do. Though, good luck getting hardcore TT Mustang guys to believe that

I spoke with Dean and Bud about there idea. Essentially they are going to mount both turbo's side-by-side in the exact same position as the ADC kit. This in my mind, defeats the purpose - but he said it's JUST for the "Wow!" factor, because - it's a show car.
At the end of the day, that setup will make NO MORE POWER OVER A SINGLE TURBO SETUP. and infact it'll be more of a pain in the ass to setup, plumb and tune than anything else.
You want wow? I would say hell lets see a CSVT with a T60 - but then again how on earth will you get that power to the ground?
When the Han's finally get their tune sorted out - it'll be "as good as it gets", in my books.

Ah, then I doubt anyone would follow his setup unless they were also looking for a "wow factor". I thought he'd found a small turbo and a bigger turbo, and mounted them basicly at each header.... which would have been cool.

with a twin turbo setup don't they usually have a smaller turbo for the lower RPMs and then a larger for higher RPMs?

The idea behind twin turbo's is so that lag is reduced, two smaller turbo's can spool up faster than one huge-ass one, but in an application like a contour twin is not needed.

That would be a sequential turbo system. Very complicated but could be very successful if it was planned out correctly.
A system such as this would also be very costly. THe Supra used sequential turbos. Most hard core supra guys get rid of them for one big turbo conversion because they limit peak horsepower.
