You remember what Kane did to that Landcruiser?
Well, I have a little beater that probably isn't going to make it much longer. I was seriously thinking of buying of those turbo kits on Ebay - slap it on and just run the snot out of it till something pops...

Correct me if I'm wrong, but you don't gain much power from a parallel system do you? One turbo doesn't spool up faster than the other, and I would think a larger single turbo would flow much more air. I always thought twin-turbo systems were made for power band efficiency, not peak power (which sequencial systems do). Whats the purpose of a parallel twin turbo kit?

Now I can't talk to what a single larger turbine would do when paired with a high flowing engine like the LS7...

Single turbo setups can be a nightmare on piston engines with V configurations because of fitment issues. How many single turbo 300zx's do you see? There are good reasons for going with a parallel twin setup in many cases, not that it doesn't have its drawbacks. Both the 300zx TT and the 3000GT VR-4 are twin parallel turbo setups from the factory.
There is a guy on the Rx-7 forums who runs twin T3/T04E 46 trims (slightly bigger in most dimensions than a GT3071 actually) in parallel and makes around 500whp with an alcohol injection setup. On the 13B-REW you have two exhaust ports, so that makes twin parallel turbos more feasible than on the Renesis.
