So is 1 turbo better than 2?

I've been in DIrEctQL's 1000hp SC. Giant turbo stuffed between the GTE and wheel well, a 6spd swap. Car made my ears pop on a 30mph to 140mph 2 gear pull. Not a daily driver...Fun has hell, but driving that cruise missile in traffic would blow.
A small single turbo done right. Can give you enough power to make the "living in moms basement Honda boy's." rethink their choice in cars. But also be driven everyday.
If you went twins...you would most definitely be doing more $$$ work to the engine, where as going NA-T you can get by on the cheap.
A GTE swap...again "done right" would be reliable, but you would be looking for more power. (removing the stock twins) then going single. But then your looking at more $$$

the big question on this is what power band would you want. I will be doing upgraded twins because I want to stay twin (true twin) and it will be a highway car. Lowend will be gone but a 50mph roll will be all mine. This of course will not be a daily driver or I would do smaller twins to have a lower powerband.

No you do not want 320...you want 400 at the wheels. Look at the boost logic stage two kit.

Either buy it, or source the same type of parts yourself, either here or off ebay. Get a computer to run it all. Read as much as you can about NA-T builds here. and do it.
BTW...Powerband is where you want the engine to start making power in the RPM range. Lowend, Midrange, or Topend. Examble that 1000hp SC I was in...it didn't even start making power until 4500rpm. To cover all three ranges you would use the Dual Pressure kit like I linked earlier.

320?!? You could grab your ma's hairdryer and get that!

You would only have to downshift and you are already spooling.

If its a high low twin...but if its identical twins, double pressure. Same spooling, just more of it.
Your not looking for nutty power. Just stick with a simple turbo kit. Seriously, keep it simple. 400whp is night and day in that car. No matter if its building low or coming on high.
