the stock twins produce boatloads of heat at higher PSI. their efficiency (sp?) range is in the lower psi's (id say 12 or under) They do not flow well. Single turbos on the other hand can flow more air, use higher PSI levels without producing more heat and are a hell of a lot simpler then stock twins.
this is a very very basic look at the question. you have opened up a big topic and i suggest you search about these things before making a new thread.

The drawback to twins is the plumbing. One of the plus's is that you can usually get two smaller turbo's cheaper than one big turbo(flows as much air as twins). If you can't do it yourself though, the twins are alot more expensive than a single. Some of you would die if you knew how little I spent on changing my car to twins.

It does if they are the same size as most peoples singles. I don't think he was talking about the stock twins.
