If egt's are your main concern...you will need the 66/14. I had a 64/14 combo (on a hybrid HX-55) with Mach 4, Smarty, TST non comp, and could still hit 1450 at WOT.
Was a lag pig on my auto but should be more workable with your 6 speed. You'll just have to live with whatever lag you get in order to handle the EGT's. I suspect the newer 66's spool quicker than mine anyway.

To be honest, twins are so fast...I never had call to notice! Will try to remember to check sometime tonight!

unless you tow a lot and want to tow w/ lots of power, I'm not a big fan of twins... they are slow to hit... I had HX35/12 on top S400 on bottom... sure, I had 20psi at 1500rpm, and it climbed steady from there. great for towing... but I didn't have 45psi till about 2300-2400... with the sps62, I've got 45psi before 2000rpm... 50psi on the twins didn't come in till after 2500rpm. w/ the 62, it's maybe 2100-2200... that's a substantial difference!
with the twins, if I was cruising along with 2500 on the tach, and I nailed it, it probably took 2 seconds or so before I saw 50psi... with the 62, it's INSTANT. the boost gauge might as well be a TPS readout at that RPM level.

Yeah, I was there watching his guages and that is why I'm so interested in going with this turbo!!! I'm just wondering if anyone else has played with this turbo on a 2nd gen???

I've heard lots of good things about twins, but slower spool seems common =\ Now if I could have boost at idle it might be worth twins though

No, no, Doug suggested a Silver 62. Great cool and nice spool. Morken is running one on his 3rd gen and it spools like right now!!! It has a large wheel like the Silver Bullet... $1900.00 plus $150.00 for a down pipe. Sounds good to me. I just would like to chat with someone who has played with a Silver 62 on a 2nd gen???

Will do... would be interested myself! The 20 psi at 1500-1600 rpm for twins sounds about right and is why I said "lites right away". (20 psi at 1500 rpm is impressive...no?)
Will compare the other #'s for 45, 50 & 65 psi (my max).
I have driven a HX-35/S400 set up and noticed more lag than I'm use to.... but kind of hard to compare objectively since it was a 6 speeds.
