I did it twice. And I was disapointed I didn't go larger to begin with. Although I will admit being on my 2nd FD that has twins, I am enjoying the mild power.

I've never been in an FD or for that matter anything with twins in it, so please don't kill me for saying this but I always thought twins were the way to go. When I first saw a single turbo FD I was like "Why?" ... Anyways I always thought 2 were better then 1 lol.

But when 1 single turbo outflows 2 stock turbos....the result is more horsepower.

I understand that, but what if you would put 2 of those single turbos that outflow the stock twins? I really don't know much about turbo's ... at least I'm honest lmao
