this is going to be a slaughtered poll. No one will pick single over TT. The limiting factor is usually money for most people

I'd go single turbo. Best bang for the buck. The twin turbo costs has big time diminishing returns on your dollar. Unless your rich go ST.

well i wouldnt say i ave unlimited funds but i will have enough to do either i was just wondering which was more reliable. more potential for power isnt really a huge factor seeing that im not looking to put down crazy numbers because putting that power to the ground in a RWD car is really difficult and lets face it the 350Z tranny isnt the greatest in the world and i dont feel like having to go to nissan and try to get them to warrenty a turboed car's tranny. right now i am prolly gonna go with the single turbo....mid 300 hp is perfectly acceptable in my book....i think the only way ill go twin is if i find an extra $8000 some where and are able to do the AEBS stroker kit.

It's all about user preference. I would say twins all the way, but it's your car.

Putting the power to the ground IS NOT that diffucult. I think you have rear wheel drive confused with front wheel drive. If you don't believe me...look at my sig..I have over 400whp and I dead hook first gear. It's all about having the right setup to put the power to the ground.

Futhermore...the trans in the 350Z is EXTREMELY strong (you don't hear of any guys breaking gears due to power)...the issues with some is the synchros....and sychro failure has absolutely nothing to do with how much power you have. I know of plenty of guys that have had trans replacements done under warranty with FI on their cars. You just have to find the right dealer that knows that the synchro problem has nothing to do with power.

If you have the $$ get the Twins...they are the more complete setup that is done RIGHT. The single turbo cuts corners to save $$$ on the kit and install. Plus spooling at 1500rpms is awesome. Instant torque.

it really just depends on what your power goals are. if you want big power go with twins.
if you want 400 to 500 go with a st.
