a single turbo so far from the manifolds will never spool like a TT's right on the manifolds.

on a stock block, who cares though as you will be barely using the potential of either setup.

The PL kit can be installed very easily. Simple bolt on. Any of the TT kits will need the motor dropped to get correct torque and alignment on the manifolds.

I don't plan on staying stock though, after I get enough money I plan on building my motor up, but I want to be boosting first. Maybe I'll regret it but oh well, you live and learn. So what it really comes down to me for is, what am I going to be more happy with in a straight line, the Greddy Twins or Powerlab GT35R single?

Is this a serious question or a Davidv-esque post?

I haven't acquired the funds I need yet to install a turbo on my car, but I've done a decent amount of research and if I decide to I'll probably go with the GTM Twin kit.

The Powerlab kit isn't out of the question but I want to be boosting at lower RPM's. After driving a couple of my friends turbo'd cars I was really turned off by the lag, and even though I've heard that the GT35R spools real fast I think I'd rather go with the twins.

So when it comes down to it what's better from 0-80ish MPH?
I would go for a single turbo like powerlab if you want a street monster

if you wanna spool quicker than a gt35r ull have to go with pretty "small" turbos... cause even with APS standard TT kit(~gt28r)... PL took over by >3100rpms
https://my350z.com/forum/forced-indu...t80.html..look at TQ numbers....IMO a tt makes sense with turbos >~gt30r...all depends on your goals, budget....etc anyways...

ya, and if you want straight line performance, singles are the way to go anyhow. Big HP supras use single turbos and they go pretty well in a straight line

I disagree.

Its different due to the engine configurations, manifold lengths, etc. SP's TT beast is a great example of a FAST twin car.

I disagree. Out of 4 turbokits ive owned in my life, my greddy TT was the easiest. I took my motor and tranny out, installed my greddy twins all in one day. And put it back in the second day. lol.

But then again, ive pulled this motor out like zillion times.
