Go single. Seriously. You won't find any GOOD data about reliability at that power.
And it depends on your definition of reliable ... are you talking they will last a season of racing with no/little street driving, say 2,000 miles or less.
Or are you talking something like daily use plus track use? over 6,000 miles/year, and lasting for a few years.

Effectively a 'Turbo Service Interval'.

And there is far more data on single than twins. Because a single isn't platform specific, you can get a good understanding of how robust it really is.
From what I've seen, the average for single is about 4-5 year life on heavy racing with minimal street, I'd estimate 20,000 mile service life (based on various friends).
