13b re in FC twinturbo or s5 turbo

Which turbo should I use with the 13b re? Should I stick with the twin turbo as non sequential or just put on a stock s5 turbo?

For someone that has a twin turbo fc, you should know this stuff. Where did you get that 13b re installed?

It says his car is a bus in his profile, so I doubt he has a 13bre. I am just about done with the swap, and I highly recommend the S5 turbo. Reason: because the cosmo swap was more than I figured, and a lot harder.

I'd stay with the stock twin seq setup or just go with an aftermarket single (T66 would be a good choice) but I would NOT go with a stock S5 turbo on the 3rd gen engine. It's simply a waste. If you like the twins another option would be the 99+ twins, you can find them on ebay.

Actually my profile says my car is an fd because I just sold it and havent changed it yet. I do have the 13bre and Im leaning towards an s5 turbo over the twins. How was your swap alot harder than you thought. and what did you do for wiring?

wasnt talking about you. neways I just ended up spending a lot for misc **** I didnt think about like throttle cable, clutch, flywheel, counterweight, fuel lines, turbo oil/water lines, a lot of gaskets, injectors, oil cooler lines, block off plates, etc, etc.. for wiring, I just spliced all the connectors from the re's cut wiring harness, onto the cars harness.

you could make more power with the twins non-seq over the s5 turbo.
