I think that 1 larger Turbo is better than 2 smaller..

Hooking you up will still run you probably a good 4G for a good turbo

Don't reinvent the wheel.

Use a single GT35R.

I looked into doing twin turbos... there isn't enough room for the turbos in front and back of the engine, not to mention the plumbing nightmare. I say go for one turbo in the GT30-GT35 range...

its my but I was talking to a company when i was considering a turbo and they said why would you want 2 turbos when you can get a 1 good for 400hp. Do you need more than 400hp? my answer was um......not at all.

I know that's a hooked up price, most likely will run 8-10K for a custom turbo setup.

Most people think 'twin' turbos make more power, not true. You can match a twin turbo setup to make 400hp or a single turbo to make 400hp. Twin-turbos will provide better response given the same power output, because they are smaller thus quicker to 'spool'. But packaging and parts wise a single turbo setup wins hands down.
I am selling my custom turbo setup for $6k btw... for the 6 speed only.
