from what I have read(and it might be outtdated) is that with two turbos you get boost throughout the rpm range which give you more low end horsepower and highend where as one big anus turbo will give you much much more highend horsepower, also with the twin the way i have read to set it up was to run one small one and one medium one so once your rpms get to a certain point the medium one takes over where the small one left off, also two smaller ones are much cheaper than one big one from what I have seen

I am going to have to make an account on that site and learn all I can about turbos and also I found a cool spot that shows what cars had small turbos that can be used on the trucks
