Another turbo question. Sorry.

Why does it seem more people choose to upgrade there stock turbo instead of adding an S400? Is the price really that much more and what are the major differences between upgrading over adding the S400? Fill me in on this. Don't you have an excellent spool up, better egt's, and better towing, as gaining HP by adding the S400? Lets hear it. Thanks

It is alot more expensive to do twins. Around $3600 for the twins setup with your stock turbo. A single is between $1000 and $1800.

Ok, well I thought I priced it out one day and it was around $2500, but I'm sure your right. Speaking of the S400, what will this set up best serve? How is it for race, daily, and towing? Thanks spooler.

It is a good tow setup and some race with it also. I am debating what to do myself. I am not as happy towing as I would of hoped. Yes, it will spool better than my single/auto.

I think that is the route I will take. The other thing I am wondering is, will the stocker hold up to abuse of heavy towing/occational race being in a twin setup?
