Default Twin Turbo on a crx???

is it useless 2 go for a twin turbo setup on a 4 cyl (honda crx w/swap) - I'm really thinkin about it - what would I need for it - can someone please list all the parts (every single little part) - or should I just go single turbo (also please list all parts I'd need) - cash is not that much an issue here I mean it is but just 2 a certain degree - what kind of turbo chargers should i get? let me know about everything thanks

One is better, someone already tried the twin turbo set up and it is a waste.

How much exhaust do you think you've got there? It takes a 4 cylinder a while to spool up one decent turbo, now two? Plus it sounds like a plumbing nightmare.
if you want more, use a bigger turbo and some nitrous to spool it up

aye all the extra piping is a PITA to do twin turbos... TT's are better used on motors without the clearance to provide for 1 well placed large turbo.. aka the Z32.. Personally I think that the only reason toyota went with twin turbos for their supra was because they have alot of those CT's lying around and nothing better to do than make the car "SOUND" cool (OK so 2 CT's are cheaper than a T4 or something lol, i dunno)

TT's are a waste inless you absolutely have an engine configuration to make a single turbo's piping a nightmare (read large V6 or V8 in an engine bay, dont want pipes taking up all the spaced needed for accessories...)

it'd be pointless to add a second turbo. complication, a second turbo to upkeep (not to mention buy).

Smaller turbos spool faster, but your not pushing the same amount of exhaust through them, so you loose that benifit.

on an small inline 4, TT is mostly bling factor.

One turbo charger is better at times say like for instance one massive turbo is better that two big ones

Turbo charging it would be cool twin charging would be bad ass lol but isn't necessary if ya got the cash why not do it
