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?



the SF is powered off both set of manifolds after the collector pipe, not just one.
