...Dan, No chance a Phat Shaft single will out produce a twin setup in any area other than cost.
The whole idea behind twin turbos is to widen the range of power & reduce turbo lag. A big turbo creates big power, but it creates big heat, big black smoke & GIANT turbo lag. Virtually all guys that go to "Pulls" us a giant single turbo. This is because they don't care about heat as they're only gonna run for 5 minutes & likely gonna rebuild their engine with regularity.
Twin turbos are as reliable as single turbos...there's just two of them in line. Both wastegated different & one small & one larger. What's to break? The 2005 Dodge I had with twins has 272K on it now & the turbos never off in 7 years.
Phat Shaft makes great turbos & Industrial Injection & many others can set you up with a compound setup manufactured by them, if they're your preference.
Don't get me wrong...nothing wrong with a single setup & a single Phat Shaft turbo installed properly will certainly out perform a stock setup but no chance it'll run as cool or clean as a twin setup or with anywhere near as little turbo lag.
That's my $.02 & I've had all of them! :)
