flat curves, almost stock spool up and low end, WHICH single?

i looked at apexi rx6 kit, gt35/40, hks t04e and xs t04e.
and i donno what will be best for what i am lokign for. i use teh car to road race/ autox as well as a lot of street driving (summer daily driver). i am not lookign for crazy power. 350 at the wheels will be satisfieble. please help me choose the right kit. if you can provide some dyno plots with the kit and bolt on parts that would be great.
tahnx in advance

w/ 350 to the wheels why not just stick w/ stock and the proper bolt ons. all you need is the fuel to keep it from leaning out.

I am guessing this is for your FD. If so, the stock turbos will do that # with bolt-ons. or at least very close to it..


I would recomend having them converted to non-seq, since you want to race..

A single kit will get you to 350rwhp with lower boost and cooler operating temps than trying to do it with your stock twins. A single kit will also migrate you down the path toward more HP as once you hit 350, you'll want more. @ 350rwhp on your stockers, you are close to max boost levels the stocks will run efficently. @ 350rwhp you are just getting into the sweet spot for a mid sized single setup like any of the ones you mentioned. Just raise the boost a few more lbs and you'll have yourself 400rwhp for when 350 begins to bore you... heheheh

Just my 2 cents.

yes this is for 3rd gen. i can get 360 or so at the wheels at 14 lbs. but i think my tq will have a big drop, its hard to control the higher boost on the stock twins. that is why i want to go single. for that and the simplicity and more reliability. i wanna know which kit will have the fastest spool up and will give me about 95+ hp by 3k rpm running max boost of about 12-14 lbs and will max out at 350-400 hp. what other kits are there, other then the ones i listed?

The XS T04E is probably a good choice for your needs. The HKS T04E might be a good choice, too, if keeping the air pump has value to you. I understand your motivations for going single, and I think it would be a good choice for you. I did the same thing for many of the same reasons. I am happy with the single.

max your site actaully inspired me to go to ward a small singe. i looked at your curves and it looks like u got 90+ hp by 3k rpm and stock wasabout 110 or so. so that few hp i am willign to sacrifce for teh gains u get from single. but i guess what woudl really help me decide is a ride in one fo these.
