id like to know where you found a twin turbo for 5k first but second, it depends on what you wanna do with the car, a twin turbo isnts usually needed unless your gonna turn it into a full drag car, usually one turbo is enough.

how much torque do you really need 
at 2,000 rpms I have seen some Turbo system making some monster torque at low RPM's.
Boost lag is like saying Ladies first

It is more in the linearity of the torque curve that suits a daily driver best. Twin screw does that best. That is why AMG used IHI twin screws in their 32s and 55s; to simulate the feel of a big block. Boost lag is a reality in turbos and big Prochargers. Impressive at the straight track launch and great until top speed is reached by the Si97 chassis and gearing. If one wanted to be king of the highway, then one should've bought a Supra.
A twin screw is king of the daily drivers because of the torque delivery. That is why FRPP chose Whipple for its Super packs. I believe a Whipple HO 4.6 S197 does pretty good against its expensive GT 500 cousin in all around performance with a tuned suspension and power to weight ratio (3450 lbs vs. 3920 lbs, respectively) for $30K less.
Amen, brother......The reality is some feel big power is worth waiting for, others know timing is everything.

yes but the rods will give out way earlier then the crank will what it comes down to is that its pretty minimal and I would not let that decide which application you should get.
Get what you think is more cool looking, best sound, and what you will be happy with.
What it all comes down to they are all equally great in there own ways for the mid to low power range. They are all capable of making a good 10 second car and will change your car dramatically.
Now if you want a 9 second 1000 horse power monster then a turbo is going to be your best application because you can just turn the boost down for street driving, where with an S/C you cant.
