A waste is a matter of opinion. Smaller dual turbos will spool faster but not allow real high boost. It really depends on what your goal for the vehicle is. For a road coarse car I would want a smaller twin turbo system that makes power throughout the RPM range and lower power levels. If I want an all out drag car a single large turbo that makes huge power in the upper RPM range would be better.

This is exactly why when a customer calls us we need to know what your goals are before just telling you what to go with. It is very short sided to just go for the most power all the time.
