yeah... i agree that the single is a thrilll to drive... but i drive my car about 100 mi a day. i live in the san francisco bay area.. traffic here is not the best... i don't get to drive to much on a open road, and that is where the single can be used.... i think a 400 rwhp seq twin would take a 450rwhp single in the streets..

again just my 2 cents

The apexi is small the greddy is big. The t-78 will make a lot more power than the apexi, but the apexi will spool faster. Just different options to look at when choosing turbos.....big or small, more lag or less lag. People worry too much about lag anways, unless you go HUGE its not that big of a deal.

Well no, because when you are racing light to light, drag racing or whatever, your in high rpms....so 450rwhp is going to walk all over that 400rwhp car.

yesyes, lag or not. have seen/heard about so many turbos now and know their performance. but I have never seen that A'PEX turbo so I asked. it would be nice for me because I have their f/m I/C.

The apexi is a good turbo, especially for upgrading over the twins and daily driving. Its no drag turbo and won't make 450rwhp, at least i've never seen it done. Here is my car with the apexi turbo....

In normal driving your not boosting therefore lag is irrelevant.... If you are then your not normal driving and the bigger turbo will show they guy next to you who is boss....
