Default dual turbo or single on the dmax?

what do you guys think about the dual turbo setup on a dmax?
or should i just do a upgraded single turbo? i would love to have the dual turbo setup but i was just curious if anyone else has had that setup, and if they would reccomend it or not?

I cant see any reason that if you have the money not to get the twins. better spool up, bigger numbers if you want to go bigger, sounds like a jet. I dont know though thats just my thoughts

i think i am going to go single for now and i can allways double it later. money is kinda tight, but i am having a hard time deciding if i want a bd turbo or a aroura 3000 or 4000. i would like to push atleast 45#of boost and i want to have a quick spool still. i would perfer quick spool over the 45# of boost. what would you perfer? every opinion will be apreciated.

bd is an awesome turbo...they construct their turbos to put the right amount of air through them for each truck. I'd do that and then stack another one down the road

Id look into getting the HTT ss turbo. Spools faster than stock and it flows more then enough air for what ur looking for

either the bd 64mm or the htt 66 would be a good choice, the htt 66 is what i run as my high pressure turbo.
