if you plan to race then TurboCharged would make sense. If just for daily ride then i don't think it worth to invest another 5K

thanks for the reply but its not matter of turbo or not turbo. I have already decided turbo im just trying to decide from Greddy TT or TUrbonetics single turbo. A buddy of mine that owns WOTM in AZ is recommening i go single turbo. and i trust his advice because he has the worlds fastest street legal supra. so yea i just wanna get acouple of others input. thanks

I think single turbo is able to give more horsepower. The twinturbos will spool up faster and kick in faster, so you'll feel the boost earlier. I think it also depends on how big or small the turbo is.
But if you want good advice, ask someone with a turbo.

if you want 500rwhp i would recommend that you also look into pistons and rods.

The stock internals on our motors wont last long running +450rwhp because its on the border of safe and throwing a connecting rod. If your going to spend +$5000 on rebuilding the motor so it can safely run 500-700 rwhp, then you might as well go for a TT setup at the same time and save money on the TT install labor. The single turbo is said to be much easier to install should be safe for the stock motor under 400 rwhp if everything is tunned correctly. The key is tunning. That will determine if your motor will last 100k miles with FI or not.

In my case I'm going with Turbonetics kit because I trust this guys for a long time now... and of corse the cost of this kit is a lot less than the TT kit and you can install it in a day... but eather way for 500+ whp you have to change the internals... so if money is not a problem go what ever please you most, both will give you power
