You loose more of your boost pressure with a double pass but the air is colder,depending on size, but with single pass pressure is retained but not cooled as much again depending on size.

loosely speaking within the twin pass cooler the boost has to traval through the bottom half of the cooler through one of the end tanks then back through the top half of the cooler hence the term "twin pass"
where a single pass cooler the boost goes from the bottom to the top or from left to right (like rs500 coolers) and only has to travle through the cooler once.

im sorry but the only way IMO you are going to loose boost pressure is if you have a leak.
