Default Twin turbo Vs single

Now i know this was posted and discussed many times but i never seen an answer...people say single is better some say twin is..twin gives more low end and mid range and single such as the aps 35r supposedly gives mid range and "wild top end" but i've seen few people get rid of their single and go twin.
Can anyone break down the the ups and potential or anyone with experience with the twin kits like aps ,jwt twin....vs the aps single 35 r kit? looking for mid range and great top end

right now stock everything but need something conservative for the stock block but hopefully around 550-600 rwhp in the future...but i wanted great top end,no falling off by redline just a constant pull

your desired 550-600 wont be acquired with out a fully tuned built motor, and i know for sure a single turbo like the turbonetics has limits and might not get you there, i'm not sure what a 35r is capable of, but you can easily get there with twin turbo's. our motors are not known to be strong (sigh) unlike the supra's, so a built engine is key. good luck.

If you need something mild now that can be modifed for 550-600whp you will need to go TT. The Greddy TT is solid investment. You can buy the Greddy TT w/intercooler, a walbro pump and a UTEC computer and boost about 8PSI on the stock block to keep it safe and make about 400whp. Then add a return fuel system, bigger injectors, cams springs and retainers, exhaust, 3" downpipes, an upgraded clutch and built motor for up to 600whp.

You have a lot of reading to do in the FI forum.

like i said, our stock blocks are unfortunately weak, very weak, anything close to 500+ your stock block probably won't stand a chance and leave you in the middle of the highway.

To answer your question, a good single turbo set up will get you the power you want, and single's have massive room for improvement when you build engine, alot of twin turbo cars are converted to single turbo just for that reason

Newb, do some research instead of asking questions . . . your question has been asked and answered dozens of times before in the FI forum.

Yeah no not with the 350Z. Reason being, there's no room to slap a giant twin in there. You can do that with the I-6's like the Supra and Skyline because they got plenty of room.

OP, you should REALLY use the search function. This has been gone over so many damn times already.

You shouldn't even be thinking about FI yet.

NO ONE with APS single turbo have yet to break 500whp with built motor. And I think Taurran is in the 540whp with his modified TN kit with a built motor... But if I remember correctly, the power nose dives towards the high RPM...

There are countless 550~600+whp twin turbo Zs with built motors. Does that clear up things for you? If you want 550~600whp with a single turbo, I think you might need something bigger than GT35R. But then you'll be crawling until the rpm hits 5000rpm.. What you want is TT.

i've been reading all the forums about it..but everybody in the other forums ramble about other things not relevant and drift away frmm the topic and never answered it.....thats why i decided to ask again here. I was considering the jwt 850bb kit..but was wondering how long it would take to spool those 30r's up..possible until 3800-4000 rpms because 3 cyinders are spooling up each,but that kit sounds soo bad ***

If your personal preference is a single turbo, I suggest the Powerlab kit. You can get it with a GT35R or GT37R. You can run it safely on a stock block with low boost, but it has plenty of headroom for big power when you build your motor.

you are going to want the jim wolf kit with the 700 turbos. since you are in NY you can go to Vinny ten racing and they may give you a test drive.
