Here are some questions you need to be able to answer to start to choose between your poll contenders (I chose single turbo, by the way)
1. Why are you looking to replace your turbos? Are they badly damaged? Not enough power? Why?
2. What is your budget?
3. What mods have you already done?
4. Do you want to look stock under the hood? Fool the E-test guy?
5. How ill mannered a car can you handle? Lag, noise, fuel economy, etc... Your intended use will reflect on this answer.
6. HOW MUCH HORSEPOWER DO YOU GOTTA HAVE??

2. Don't have one currently.
3. Let me get my FD.
4. That is something I would definitely aim for since I live in the Bay Area of CA. Unless if I drop in some obvious mods in it rendering it not to pass the visual, then would it be easy to pull them off and replace them with the stock parts?
5. Just to sound illiterate, but what do you mean? I'd like to have a nicely powered daily driven FD with the ability to smoke a Civic here and there, perhaps some muscle cars, get off the line faster than a Civic or muscle car. Pretty much make my future FD bad *** on the street.
6. Oh God...350, 400+, or anything that is reliable and can do what I said

"5": meaning with power comes negatives. You need the exhaust to flow, but that creates noise, can you live with it? To get the big numbers you will suffer down low with lag, so you have to find a happy medium. Depending on what you are looking for wil decipher the "perfect setup" in your senerio.
The word Civic shouldnt even be something to ponder over. Racing one is more of a waist of gas then throwing in the big single turbo. Now the muscle cars are more fun........

Right now I own a muscle car. A 1979 Pontiac Firebird Esprit with a 350, 4 speed auto, and needing a new cam.

so basically, you'd be happy with a stock Fd w/ a catback on it...

Rise from the grave RISE!!!!!
After all this i think for me, the best will be to go with the new BNR Stage 3's. I want to keep the sequential and the stage 3's are bringing out some real good numbers.
I dont like the idea of gutting everthing under my hood for the single, as i intend to have my car for many years. The more stock i keep it the better.
