Hey I have to say that i really don't know **** about single turbos and what they require. I would like it if you guys could help me out while trying to learn about this. I never really paid to much attention to single turbo stuff honestly. So if I ask something in here that sounds wrong just please correct me. Thanks because Im a little slow sometimes.



Ok first question.

What all is required to go from the stock twins over to single?



Manifold,Proper fuel,Correct plumbing,??? :rice:

you need a manifold, the turbo and the piping. an fc turbo is almost a bolt in to an fd. the ic, and extra fuel you would need for a lot of power on the twins too

You need all the basic bolt ons, fuel system, manifold, downpipe, etc. An ignition and 3 bar map sensor is nice too for high boost, as well as suspension to put the power to the ground.

To do it right you need money, time and knowledge.



1. Turbo kit/ turbo, downpipe, wastegate, manifold, intake, bov, various hoses and oil lines.

2. Fuel managment system tuned to perfection to get the most out of the turbo without blowing up.

3. intercooler

4. injectors

5. fuel pump

6. boost controller, or use the wastegate spring

7. clutch that can support the power

8. good ignition system or amp

9. of course neccesary guages

10. (optional) Complete exhaust system (catback/midpipe) to make desired power

11. (optional) good rubber and driver skills to avoid the "first week wreck due to power"

12. did I mention money?

He you all need to make Van hook you up with a place to stay on base... He'll have to escort you every where you go and you'll have to put up with looking at his mug, but he can hook you up...
