I think you would have difficulty spooling. Twin turbo get the WOW factor, I would stick with single....
You're absolutely right, they're overkill, the original plan was to make the kit with the largest turbos anyone would want to install so that I knew there'd be plenty of room for correctly sized turbos on future kits...and then I started building and realized that I couldn't be paid enough money for the hassle (and ultimately no real benefit) of producing TT kits. Spool isn't bad, it's about 1000rpm later than my .58a/r T61 was. It would defiantely be acceptable to me if the car was a 5sp.

pretty much, I'm around mid 9's compression with the pistons, h/g, and slight shave

ah ok... with a slight shave, you're prolly back up to high 9s... but thats cool if you want a low boost setup
