RE: twin turbo

5500-7500 or so for a custom twin turbo is about right depending on turbo/wastegate/bov choices. then u can go even more depending on the coating on your pipes, etc.

yes a single turbo is plenty

RE: twin turbo

In reference to the chart fazm posted, would a supercharger such as the X-Charger give more power or the turbo would give it more power? Which would be the best for the quickest 0-60/80

the turbos will put out more power and be quicker to just bout any mph/distance.

ya thats at 12psi, running jba headers, and restrictive chambered mufflers.

when u do custom kits, it includes install since they have to install it to build it. the PH kit is 5200, includes everything u need. uses a single pt-61 turbo.

Dude, you'd be more than fine with a single turbo v6. Fazm has a fast *** car so did rygen before his 5.4 swap if he went through with it...which i think he did. No need for twins IMO. if you want a race car buy a v8 and build and twin turbo it dude...

I went through with it. I need to create a build thread here on MF as well. Motor, trans, and turbo are all procured, along with new wider DR's for this season.

And I strongly reccomend the PH turbo for the 4.0. Mine is a daily driver, that still got me 12's, 11's and one 10 second pass. But for most, I would reccomend setting it up as a 12 second car, or high 11 second car on the stock block. Drove mine to DC every day, in rush hour traffic no issues.
