If your on a budget I wouldn't go with twins. I've got about $8000 cdn tied up in mine and I do all the fabrication myself. You could probably do it a lot cheaper, I'm running braided lines and stainless tubing everywhere. Anyway you slice it, it costs a lot more than a single set up and I'm not sure the extra expense is worth it. I'm doing it as much for a display piece as anything, so if you're not doing it to showcase your work or if you have a short deadline I would definitely go with a single. Just my 2 cents. Good luck either way.
As for what needs to be upgraded, Fuel pump and fpr,injectors,intercooler,exh.(specifically dp's),ecu,boost sensor,maf, Just to name a few things. You should be able to find plenty of writeups on this topic.

I understand what you guys are saying. For my HP goals as well as the ability to spool quick I thought of twins. It is going to be hard to put this together for the money. What suggestions would you guys have(being that this is my first time getting into rotaries) for pulling 11's? I am not trying to be unrealistic...just optimistic. I have a friend who builds these engines a few times a month so I know I can get good prices and discounted labor or just stratight up help. I should be able to pick up 16g's that need a $100 rebuild for a little over $100 each. Fabbing a TT manifold will be a bitch. Well any Ideas would be appreciated. Maybe some thought on a different way to make that power quickly. The engine only needs to last 10,000 hard miles. After the event I am going to trade for a 20b TT and a few K in the drive train.

The manifold is the easiest part. It's the downpipes,fmic plumbing,turbo plumbing etc. I agree with them, if you want the easiest way, pp and maybe n02 for good measure. Far cheaper and simpler.

Lots of little single turbos can support 350-400hp even cheap ebay ones.
I saw a link in the swap section to a jdm importer in northern va. Well I live in va so the turbo II swap for like 900 really appealed to me. With an NA car is that a really simple swap. Is it just a drop in, and is there alot of re-wiring neccessary? I am sorry for the really stupid questions I am really new to rotaries.
