Twin turbo or Single turbo for 550whp?

Should I go with twins or a single for this power goal? I wont be running e85 so I need some help with picking fueling mods. Do I need PI at this whp? Also, should I run meth or not?

Let cost guide you.

Reliability, you'll need to upgrade turbo/s. Diff and trans also. Bushings and suspension too.

How deep do you want to go down this hole?


It is almost always cheaper to just buy a faster car.

What kind of cars you got in mind. (for a limited budget and mechanical inclined)

I like twins. Less to change in terms of controllers and misc routing and allows more money to be spent on actual upgrades. I'm targeting 600whp on 93 with my Hydra setup.
