I would go with an S300 variant. That being the II or HTT versions of the 62-71-14/12 units. The BD Super B is of the same ilk and can be coupled up with twins. If you go too big on the single, it won't be usable on a set of twins. The twin packages at PDR use either the S300 or HX40 for the primary.

I can't answer on the twins thing, thats kinda up to you. All of the S300 turbos, so the Industrial Injection or HighTech Turbos , all just bolt right on just need the 4" HX40 downpipe and you are set. A little tinkering to get the oil lines on is all. Heck even my tractor hack turbo went on pretty easy.

If price is an issue, the PDR turbos are pretty good upgrades as well. They sell an upgraded HX35 or an HX40 that should take the fuel you are planning on.

Twins usually take some head work prior to install, so its a pretty big ticket. Hense I am still floggin this single..

I would recomend going to the price quote section and tell them what you roughly want. I got a lot of info from different dealers and the prices can't be beat.

Their are so many good turbos out their. You could go with a auora 2 or 3000 that later on could be twined with a 5000. Or a Super B could be upgraded to a twin later also.

You can twin almost anything, the thing is setting yourself up for where you want to be in the future. An s300g would a nice turbo for the basic mods you've got. From there I would look at an s300 with the 62mm comp wheel. If you plan on building twins out of it later, either one combine with an s475 beneath it should easily clear up to 600hp and the 62mm probably closer to 700-750hp with the right mods to back it up.
