i was planning on doing a BNR stage 3 and keep it sequential, but every one of those vacuum lines cracked and broke and broke most of the vacuum electronics under the rats nest also...i now fully understand why you guys love the single turbo conversions hahaha

Yes. You'll have to use resistors for the solenoids that are removed which are part of the turbo control system. The solenoids which are part of the emissions control don't really cause any issues aside from storing codes if you don't use resistors on them. The stock ECU programming isn't ideal for non-seq as it richens up around the transition area which you won't have any longer.

I'd rather have sequentials any day of the week on a car that I drive for enjoyment on the street. This isn't just a guess for me come to think about it... I have a single turbo FD, a nonsequential FD, and a sequential FD. Anytime I want to go somewhere in a FD and get the most enjoyment out of it, the sequential is always the one that gets driven. If you get rid of the unnecessary stuff and emissions, it really doesn't leave that much. It also looks like you have the engine is out of the car and sitting on the ground. That is too easy. You have easy access to everything. Replace the hoses, check and replace your check valves and solenoids and be done with it.

I drove the car with the stock sequential system for about 7 years, and 4 with the current non-sequential. I honestly don't miss the sequential set-up at all, even on the highway. The sequential transition "hit" is more annoying than anything else once you've driven a properly set-up non-sequrential, which is liquid smooth from 3,000 rpm up, it just keeps pulling like mad; a true pleasure to drive. Of course, the power is night and day, and you can't get there with sequential.
Anyone who drives my car would be converted, that I can promise you (thank you David Garfinkle and Brian at BNR). Alot of time and $$$ went into doing it right, nothing was half-assed. Non-sequential tends to get a bad rap because theere are so many hack jobs out there that drive poorly.
