    I'd have to say a twin setup myself, it is much less work, and you can get a twin TD04 setup in there without too much trouble.

    Horsepower is NOT proportional to the cross sectional area of your exhaust tip.

    I was going through "upgrade" on an accident car... so most of the time I was looking for replacements for "little broken pieces"...

    I think it could be done in less than a week.... or in 3 days if everything is in one place.

    As to initial question - I am for twin turbo, it has been discussed before, with all pluses and minuses of either setup... we worked around "restrictive intake" part with separate intake pipes off each turbo...

    About single vs. twin setup

    Compressor and Exhaust housings side by side (Stock TD03-8G vs TD04L-13T):



    Finally... 2xTD04L 6a13 ...
