I disagree. 370 can and has been done on stock twins and it doesn't necessarily have to be something they could only do for a short time.

Throw in all of the other minor stuff such as oil, gaskets, FIPG, hardware (manifold studs, nuts, et al), air filter, intake, silicon couplers, t-bolts, IC brackets, 3" pipe & elbows to complete DP, fittings, not to mention welding labor. Yep, $2G's easy on the cheap. Mine was close to $4G when you add it ALL up, and I'm not running an expensive turbo.
You're about to get in over your head if your budget is as big of an issue as I think it is, being you're in college.
Stick with twins, IMHO.
EDIT: If this is your daily driver, definitely stick to stock. Trust me on this....

Intake, 3" turbo back exhaust, 440cc injectors (if not 550s), walbro, afpr, boost controler, cams, cam gears, front mount and a good piggy back that can control timing and a bulletproof tune.Prettyazznouka said:

If thats the case... why doesnt everyone go that route? Why does everyone say "the twins are garbage just go single, they cant hold high boost" Honestly... i would keep the twins if i can make decent power out of them. They are pretty good since the swap, no issues really. But if i can hold out till income tax time... :naughty:
I was just on ebay looking up some universal kits to get a idea what would be needed if I pieced things together. Im not sure how to read the turbo specs... i do know a little about some being internally gated, some have 50 trim, 57, ect. How do I read that? What specs should I be looking for? Yes im still learning feeed meee lol

Because that's getting pretty close to their limit, they're a pain in the ass tod eal with, and you're wringing the twins neck at that level.
That kind of power can be done easy with a single while giving you a much simpler setup and potential for alot more.
And not everyone says the twins are garbage and they can't hold high boost. They can but they're still relatively unreliably regardless of how much boost you're running.

Hey I got an easy question for you. With the manifold from driftmotion. How did the 7m downpipes fit. I have a bic divorced ddp right now and I really don't think that I want to get rid of it. Plus if you want to upgrade you can also go to the boss turbos later.
new parts list for the single
manifold from driftmotion $330
boss turbo from HPF $1500 with oil lines
BIC divorced downpipe if you don't have one $450
Well over 400 whp with supporting fuel and management.

i c... well then ill see how far i can push the twins.... if i can get around 325 on them ill b happy.. then when they blow ill be forced to go single lol. Its ok if they blow, I have a beater that I can use while the car is down. Ill see what happens

IIRC Aaron posted earlier that you would not be able to run anything bigger than a modified ct26. There is simply not enough room for a BOSS, JT or 20g bolt-on.
Ok... just did a lil reading. Would this be a good start?
1. Upgrade Cams(do i need cam gears also?)
2. FMIC
3. 440's (necessary with stock twins?)
4. Finish 3" Catback with 3" mufflers
5. Boost controller (go up to 14-18psi)
6. SAFCII and tuned
That should be a pretty decent bpu right? am I missing anything?

Is that just with the driftmotion manifold or with any manifold. I was looking that the boss turbos and they are only a 3'' inlet unless you get the gts style.
