s.o.s

this is a question im sure has been asked before. but icant find it when i search, but i am wanting to install twins or single turbo on my iroc. it has the stock 305 tpi in it. i just want 100-200 hp increase from street driving. i plan on building another motor to run of the turbo. but i need to know which is easeier and cheaper. single or twins. also i have no pipe bender but i do have a welder so fabing is not that easy. i dont care about keep ac or smog or anything i just dont want it to be a messy clutter under the hood. which is easier to tune twins or single? which are more effecient for street driving?? is is better to buy a kit or try to fab since I dont have a pipe bender. also what the best size turbo to run on the street?? thanks

Re: s.o.s

Why did you title this S.O.S? Why not something relevant, like single or dual turbos?

I think one member on here makes up kits for this. There's also one member on here that I know of who runs a single turbo on a 305 TPI. I think it made 500HP or so.

Single is a bit easier, but depending on how you size it, either one can make more power.
You can buy prebent tubing, mandrel bends, and/or weld-els and fab it up.

Single= less money, less piping, less cluter, same power. That answer your question? There are not too many "kits" available, so you may have some trouble there.
