I'm in a bind. I have to replace my stock twins. Pettit Racing has a set of stock 99 FD3S that's ceramic coated and the weak spots have been taken care of on the assy. for $3400.00 Most single turbo kits start around $3000.00 I want something around 300 - 350hp. Should I stay with twins or go for a single? What do you suggest? With a single turbo kit, with I have to upgrade the fuel system, computer, ect.? I don't want to get in over my head here. Also, does anybody recomment a single turbo kit around that hp? Thanks!

You'd be crazy to pay 3400 for twins. What mods do you already have? There are only a few basics you would need to really to install a single turbo. The swap is easier than you think and the benifits are very good. Once you finish off the mods you will easily have 350hp on any of the smaller turbo kits.

single turbo all the way

u always get to em b4 me

With single turbo you actually get better gas mileage as long you drive under 3500 or 4000 rpms. the spool up on most single. They are alos less restrictive so less heat in the engine bay. But if you do want to wip it out :squirt: man do i feel sorry for the guy who thinks he can beat you. A good upgrades is peter ferrell intercooler if you stay in the stock zone 10, 12 psi. But if you want more psi then think about a few engine mods and a large upgraded front mounted intercooler.

Go single if you havwe the money. Thats way too expensive for twins. There is too much complexity, clutter, and **** to break with the twins and their control system. The response is nice, but with a properly sized single you can simplify the car, make it more reliable, and still have good spool time with better top end.

Go single.

yeah, go single. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/BURNOUT.gif

A crucial question is your home state and clean air laws. Most folks in California say single is out of the question. I don't think you can go single and meet most state's clean air standards. If this is a car you want to keep driving day to day, that is the first question, can you get through the inspections regime?
