Thanks everyone. Don't really know the HP gains yet still breaking it in... i never thought driving all nice and civilized would be so difficult. 
But from the little bit ive played with, its negligible at the moment, i still have yet to hook up my boost controller which i think is going to make a big difference. Seems the wastegate is opening a tad bit early but i have no boost reference to confirm that yet. And Chewy, it is a preference thing to an extent. There are large advantages to go single just for potential power. The turbo i am running is good to about 545whp which really isnt tons for a 2jz but is definitely enough for me to get my kicks. But there is still alot of tuning ahead and on a tight budget its difficult to get things done quickly as i am only 19 and apprenticing to be a parts tech at a local automotive parts store so funds are low at the moment but im making due with what i can. I'll keep everyone posted! I still have lots of work planned as i have a machine shop where i work so i am looking into building the valvetrain over the winter since canadian winters kinda suck for driving Aristo's

thats awesome man. i have been talkin to alot of people and they say if you go single turbo you should see a difference in gas milage and more reliability. i just picked up my motor friday and i am waiting on my timing belt and water pump to come in so i can change that to. but single turbo seems to be a good way to go! again props to you man

SO! turbo is breaking in finally i only have about 450KM's on it and flying by the seat of my pants it feels like im making just slightly less power than i was with the stock twins at just more than half the boost. Cant wait to hook the boost controller up
