I've been reading alot of posts and i'm stuck in the middle. i have an 96 240sx with and rb26 on the way. i was wondering whatt would be a better set up to go with the twin turbos like the grub-n turbos or one medium to big single. i'm looking for 475-515whp with quick response since i plan to road race and drag nothin to serious since it is my daily driver except in chicago's harsh winters. let me know what you all think thanks

n gt 2528s, i have a large single and you sorta have to keep it reved up to stay in boost but its rewarding in nice long straights

A single turbo eliminates a ton of clutter, frees up a lot of space.

i figured the single would be better for drag but not for road racing since i have to keep it high in the rpm's. Our auto cross set up usually has alot of lower rpm turns you know

Single or twins has little to do with it. You get an appropriate sized turbo for your goals. A single can make just as much power with the same kind of response as twins. People like to say that in theory the twins should spool better, but they are usually just repeating internet "knowledge".

Is it a big parking lot course, or open road course? Tight or long straights? How much hp do you want?

I run a GT3076R with a .73. It is very responsive, but I am running 3.0L now, but still, it was pretty good at 2.5L too.My setup right now will be perfect for road racing, and I intend on hitting the 2 mile road course this summer.

Well plenty of 240's have an RB series motor that drift. Look into i know of someone (met him once) who is a NASTY drifter with an RB25.

How the hell do you own an rb26 and youre asking these kind of questions. Literally my 10 year old cousin knows the answer to this and he doesnt even like cars.

No, nobody uses RB26 to drift. It's because they have no torque, so they use SR20s instead. (that's sarcasm)
