I won't get into all the details. What would you do? Keep the car with a single turbo or sell off the turbo parts, pocket about four grand and go back to twin turbo..
What say you?

Personally, I'm a fan of seq. twins. So, I say twins. But I do have a LARGE T-78BB that I'm thinking about putting it into one of my FDs
how about goin to twins and pockin the cash. or even a better idea and just giving me the single and ill test it out for lets say the next 10 years and then return it with cash in hand :-)
ive never had a single turbo rx7 before but i love my twins, I just want a lil more power which is comming slowly..

providing you pick up a trouble free set of twins and have no plans on runnin em at the edge..
they dont last very long pushed.. was satisfied with the 300rwhp until recently.. smokin like a chimney

Is this primarily a daily or street driven car?
Sell the single, go back to sequential twins AND enjoy driving the car.
Singles do have their place--but why do you think are so many single conversion cars up for sale? I'll bet it's primarily disappointment.
The big power a single makes is a novelty that wears off quickly when the car is no longer practical and no fun to drive most of the time.

At one time I had 4 FDs on my driveway. Now I'm down to my first FD (Blk 93 base) and the MB touring. But I have 8 x 13B Rews, 2 x 20Bs, 5-6 sets of twins, one T-78BB, 2 x 20B twins, 3 x 20B UIMs and LIMs, 4 sets of wheels, and 2 complete interiors, 3 sets of seats just in case (including the Spirit R)
