twins or single

starting to think about turbo upgrades, iam going to be hauling my pulling tractor which is only about 10,000lbs plus the trailer, so my question is with twins how are they with towing, i havent ever been in a truck with twins or been around one, i know i talked to a guy at source automotive and he suggested using my stock charger in a setup that he has anyone have any input or should i just go with a single charger?

Twins work fantastic for towing, lots of bottom end response and lots of air up top for cooling. go for the twins if you can.

Yeah, always go twins if you can swing it, especially for towing. A larger single that will support more fuel will also tend to hit harder when it lights, which is hard on drivetrain components, especially when towing. Having said that, you've got a little more breathing room with a 24v, and there's no reason a decent towing single wouldn't work wonders. A 12v is where twins become almost a necessity when hauling heavy.

I have the twin set-up from source auto and love it.
If we were closer you could drive it.

I've pulled 15,800 with my truck, even with the box on and the pyro never got over 1200!!! water temp wanted too though!!! I run it with the box off 90% of the time and never--now--when towing.
You will like the kit and support.
Let us know if you buy it we can help with set-up.
BTW, I tryed to do a single first--money lost--you won't find one that compares to good twins.
