64/14 or BD single?

Last week I bought a set of 150 horse injectors off of ebay, put them in over the weekend and wow, tons of power, lots of smoke. The pryro needle moves alot faster than it used to. I need more air, but I cant decide between an HTB2 64/14 or a BD single. If I went with the BD sigle I would eventually buy the rest of the twin turbo kit when I have the money to do it. I would like to have twins someday, so is there a kit I could buy to use an HTB2 for twins, would it work with the BD kit, or would I have to fabricate something to use the HTB2 in a twins set up? What do you guys think, anyone runnin a set of BD twins or using an HTB2 for twins?

64 should be all the turbo you need with stage4's/comp. Or for quicker spoolup look at the HTB2 62 or Phatshaft 62 over the super b, then you should be able to match a second charger down the road if needed. All these turbos are Schwitzer based: BD, High Tech Turbo, Phatshaft, B-1.

Look at PDW's page- Doug carries them all (he likes the phatshafts=p)

The HTB2/14 will not plug & play with the BD twins. It could be used for a BIG set of twins, if 700+ hp is your goal. It's bigger than you need/want for good street twins, IMO. You need to decide where your headed....hp wise, and when.

The BD twins are a sweet set up for up to maybe 550 hp max with min. of EGT problems. Will put out 50 to 60 psi boost so head studs may be all you need. They are coming out with a bigger twin set up this yr that still uses the BD single (S300) on top but goes with a S400 on the bottom, I believe. Their smaller, present, twins are two S300's with different turbine housings (much bigger on the bottom turbo). One of these BD sets is on my wish list.

I have a HTT 62/14 on top of a S400, and I am very happy with the combo. On of the nice things about the HTT turbo's is that if you want to upgrade to a larger one, you can send it back and they will modify it for you. If your plans are to go to a set of twins I would start with the 62/14 and then when you decide to do twins you have a good starting point. You will have to control EGT's with your right foot until then. If you decide not to do twins, then you can just upgrade your HTT to a 64, or even a 66. I got my twin kit from Source Automotive . With Mach 4's (150hp) injectors I dynoed 565hp uncorrected (ran 12.70's), with my twins. I have not dyno'd them with the Mach 6's yet.
