Twinscroll torque vs single scroll

Twinscroll torque vs single scroll
What is it that makes a twinscroll setup produce so much more torque than a single scroll? I've a 2005 uk sti with a built 2.1 and I'm looking at converting it to twinscroll. Is it the equal length headers or the twinscroll turbo that give the jdm's that bit more? Thanks in advance

Think the main point with the JDM set up is that it produces much more torque in the lower rev range, rather than much more peak torque. I believe it is mainly the twin-scroll set unit (it reduces interference of the exhaust pulses in the manifold by having twin feeds to the turbine) rather than the headers that gives this effect, though the EL headers are more efficient also.

The equal length headers help with the increased torque and you get a better torque range lower down which is where you need it, they do produce more than a similar single scroll but that is all to do with the complete setup.

Toyney had a 2.5 and it didn't suit him.
In my experience, the 2.1 still offers the best balance when it comes to fast road/track day use. It's far from just a fad and as we've probably built more than anyone (Including Toyney's) I'm quite well placed to say that.
What turbo do you currently have again Mike ?
As we didn't set yours up I can't remember !

Hi Martyn. I'm running an md321t at present. My 1st choice was to have this converted to billet. Then the more I looked, the better a twinscroll conversion looked (seen as I already have the sump etc) but would want to go the whole hog which would mean jdm heads by the looks of it. So figure it means I'll be after some equal length headers and up pipe. A new turbo (twinscroll sc46) downpipe and some jdm heads. I'd sell my current headers and turbo which would fund a good part of the conversion. Thanks Martyn
