id love to go single but i highly doubt 1200 is enough... single turbo,oil lines, manifold, wastegate/bov,intercooler piping and to tune it a afc, plus injectors and r154 (currently have a w58)...wouldnt it cost more....

i was thinking to keep it bpu for a little longer till i have enough to go single and do it right.... but if 1200 is enough then i could probably do that... to rebuild stock TTs i got a quote for 700...that kills a single would obviously be cheaper

Try using the money to spoil yourself, get some new leather, 3 spoke wood steering wheel, navigation with speaker upgrades, and a squash fragrance. You will feel like you are driving a new car.

If going single or rebuilding your stock turbos is too pricey just pick up some used oem turbos for like 200 or less and just run them till they blow. Im with Luxor on spoiling yourself, but Im a sucker for interior mods.

i say go single! from my personal experience i think going single on our jdm gte swap is alot more reliable/easy to work with just stay at stock boost. i hate the jdm twins if i end up keeping my car next thing in the list is im going single.

HX35 off a Cummins Diesel (Will do 400hp at 15psi) = $200

Down pipe/Crossover pipe made to connect twin manifolds = $150 (Welding shop)

Lines and stuff = $100

Enjoying 1000's of trouble free miles with diesel engineering reliability! = Priceless

I thought you were swapping an entire engine for that money, lawlz!

BTW your actual question was "so with that money what do u think i should invest in."

If you would like some advice on that let me know, but it would be off topic haha
