Before you do any of that, I think you need to take your car into a shop and check for frame and suspension damage.
Sorry to hear about your loss-- next time you're gonna go out hot rodding with some brand new mods that you're not comfortable with yet, make sure you're in a safe open area...

I may sound like an ******* here but I agree with the last guy about donig a few things before you do all that, like learn to drive. If you couldnt handle the way the car was before what makes you think you can handle it with a big single turbo upgrade??? Maybe there is something I am missing, like there was a cat in the road that you didnt want to hit but what happened in the first place, why the spinout?? I dont mean to come off like an *** and I am sorry if I did, I do feel for ya though, it sucks,

Hmmm sorry to hear about your loss, but I bet they (the people you cut off) were having a pretty good chuckle to see you spin and wreck after you cut them off.
Well at least some good (upgrades) will come from this event.
Best of luck

I don't know, call me a jerk too, but even cutting someone off, you need to know how to handle the car. Especially before going out and hot rodding on public roads. Had you had a single turbo 350+ rwhp car then, you probably wouldn't be here posting for a while, if at all.
FD's are fun, but they are dangerous too. I'm not saying I've never lost the rear end of my car, but I was able to recover it, and I actually do practice that in empty parking lots (helps to know how your car is going react in certain situations, that way you aren't surprised when it happens).
Sorry, but at this point, since you owned your FD for a little over a month before you wrecked it... adding in a single turbo just sounds like you have some sort of a death wish. Mainly it scares the crap out of me to hear stuff like this as you could have easily lost control of the car and hit another car.
If you do go for the single turbo, keep it safe on the roads until you learn how to handle the car.
