stepping outside the square for a moment. from what we have all seen and what is common logic, twins are usually better
we typically assume or expect twins come on earlier, provide better linear response and overall package is better
typically with a big single we see low power, low power, low power, bang tons of power, tons of power
at least in its simplistic form
now im not saying a t04z is lag lag lag lag lag lag, power, change gears
because we know its not, but its reasonable to expect a big single has a big chuck of lag, then power
whereas twins, in a typical scenario are linear power curve, and progressive, making the car very drivable
sure if you use twin 0.82a/r rear GT2835s then its going to be laggy, but lets compare reasonable scenarios
so anyhoo, moving forward i still think you should go for a twin setup
but think harder about the turbocharger choice, setup and what you actually want
there are more than 1 way to get power/response from the setup at hand
choosing a pair of GT-RS's then saying theyre too laggy is simplistic
have u checked a pair of trust turbos
have u checked a pair of garrett turbos
have u checked a pair of apexi turbos
have u checked a pair of hybrid turbos
and so on.....
look at the rest of the picture
- what gearbox ratios
- what diff gears
- what wheels
- how is it tuned
- what cams
- what exhaust setup
- what fuel
all of these can affect power delivery and if one of these is wrong or not setup, then it could certainly make the car laggy
now im not saying go buy a 5k short ratio box, but im saying, if you want twins you can, but you can do other things
to alter the see-saw to drive power vs response from them
