Primary turbo?

Ok here is my question when selecting a primary charger for a set of twins what things should I look for? What A/R? Inducer exducer size? As is my typical fashion I go off half cocked and head first into something realize I don't know as much as I need to know and ask questions afterwards. Any advice would be appreciated, especially links to where I can get one.
Thanks
Joe

what do you do with your truck, and what are you looking for power wise. Is it hilly where you live? Alltitude?

It is mostly flat around where I live. My original goal was 450 hp but now I am gonna try and break 600. I dont tow often, and then it isn't much over 8000#. Right now I am on my second turbo for a primary it is an s400 Borg Warner it is this turbo http://http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotor...spagenameZWD1V I might just need to rethink my whole strategy here. Thanks for all the help though I really appreciate it.

For an out of Box setup look at BD's twins. Putting a stock turbo on top of an s400 prolly wont break 600 on #2. A 62 series on top of a s400 wont have that problem.

I didn't figure I could hit 600 with the hx35 on top but for now I want to hit 450-500. I know I could probably do that with a single but something about twins that makes my heart race. I don't know if 600 is a realistic goal for me anyway and I would still like to be able to tow and I do haul alot of stuff with my truck. I don't plan on racing or sled pulling very often. I just want more power for the sake of having it. I have another thread going about the progress of my twin project. If the turbo I have will work fine in my setup I would be happy. I still have the s310 turbo as well and can still use it if that would work better. Sorry for being a pain.
Thanks
Joe

Nah its not a pain. I wished I could help more. There is alot of ppl that know alot about twins. Its just that its very hard to reccomend a set for someone cuz everyone uses there truck differently and live in different climates.
