Honestly, and I've said this before, since you only want 700hp, you are looking at turbos that will do nothing but frustrate you with lag.
Get the *smallest* turbo that will make the power you want efficiently. I wouldn't go bigger than an 80 either (and would most likely have kept the 78 and enjoyed the instant boost).
Twins on a budget? Bad idea
Personally for 700hp, I wouldn't do twins. Its too expensive for too little benefit at that level. I'm ending up shooting at the 800-850hp range (down from 1100 because I want the truck to be fun on the street again) myself but already had the turbos -- and they are stg III 60-1s.
I bigger turbo won't make the truck faster if you don't have the supporting mods and aren't going to turn it up, but a smaller one might.
Which would you rather have? A truck that does 15psi and sees boost between 4500 and 6200 or a truck that does 15psi and sees boost from 2000 to 6200? That second setup will probably have 15psi between 3500 and 6200rpm, while the first will have 15psi from 5250-6200.

when i had the 78mm everyne told me it would choke it up around 5-5500rpm and be out of steam at 13-15psi???
now your saying keep it??? ya'll have confused the **** outta me....
05CREW:
when you say laggy.... what do you mean??? when would the 88 start to spool??
TurboBerserker :
what are you tlking about 1st setup and second setup??
as far as the "budget" i can get 2 turbonetics tc66 .81ar for $1000 from a friend so they could be in y budget.. is why i am asking about Twins??
also i want ATLEAST 700rwhp would relly want more around 850rwhp on 93 octain but i'm just being realistic so i didn't get bashed
i would like it to start spooling around 2500-3200 and pull to atleast 6000rpm
