Won't fit over the TII lower intake.

And if it did, why? Without the control system to make them sequential, a properly sized single is a better choice. And the reliability of the FD twins is...dubious at best.

That's becuase there's alot more involved in trouble shooting the system than most 3rd gen owners are aware of. There are upgrades available for the twins that allow 20+ PSI of boost and full boost response by ~2000. Show me a single that can do that

Single's are "better" because they are less complicated to install by the rotary novice.

Contact NASA I think they can get it working well. Them or the original Mazda engineers. Everyone else will have some headaches getting it to work.

20 lbs out of those tiny things? Just how far out of their efficiency range are they and how hot is the air?

you could probably cook eggs and dry your hands at the same time at 20psi on the fd twins.

lol....Sure ,just throw on something like a ~0.5 a/r hotside on your typical T04.I'll probably have the same amount of backpressure as those seq. running twins also

Can that rockstar Motec you have do neg. split? That will spool a single much faster but playing with that can be a dangerous thing with a turbo rotary.

Rotary novices shouldn't be playing with turbo's. End of story.

Whoops - here it is

Now please, before you call someone out on BS, maybe you should get your **** strait, mkay? You may feel free to hang yourself and remove yourself from the gene pool

The sotck ones maybe, I'm not talking stock here. Reading comprehension escapes you. What were your SAT scores?

Do you have any idea how much backpressure those twins make?

Didn't think so - seriously, shut the up **** if you don't know any facts. I have an EMAP, I'll tell you exactely how much backpressure at what boost level in which mode. You know nothing - go away

That rockstar Motec can do everything that I have thought that could possibly be needed to run my setup. Should I ask one of the mods to turn your user name font Green?

So tell us the backpressure no.s then. Maybe you can post the data when or if you get the car to run, right?

Green font? and the reason would be what ? Hey that's green font,Get lost
