A single conversion only makes sense, IMHO, when trying to support power/boost levels that small frame twins aren't capable of doing efficiently. I'm sure there is a very good single turbo option for the 500whp level that may perform as good as, or better than, upgraded twins. But the cost involved (manifold, turbo, plumbing, etc,.) may not be worth it to most. I'd say that the advantages would largely be in reliability through reduction of back-pressure and through better heat dissipation through the use of a tubular header vs close-coupled log manifold.
Just my 2c,

Hi Shiv
I really want to get your single turbo kit installed but I'm right hand drive and my steering column might be an issue.
What can you do for us RHD customers?
Also would my 6AT really benefit from 500hp+ or will I be loosing power through that trans?
Love your work btw
