First gen owner doing swap...got Q's

Hey got a couple q's about what setup I should run. I am picking up a JDM front clip on tuesday with the 13b-rew engine. I will be swapping it into my fb and wanted to ask a question about the evil twins and the exhaust. Since I will have 2 turbos I will also have dual exhaust. The problem is later down the road I want to do a single turbo swap to generate more power. What kind of hp losses will I endure if I run dual to single? Could I run dual and then when I put a single turbo on it run single to dual.

Help me I am in distress! What is the best option?

Anyways I will probably be hanging out here more often since my complete drivetrain will be from a third gen.

Yep. So I can put 1 3" pipe all the way back and it will do fine? Also how much boost can you create on the stock twins before you are just generating heat?

Dude you need to search the 1st gen section about this swap. You'll get more info there about fitment issues. If I'm not mistaken the stock twins wont fit in the 1st gen because the twins will hit the steering rack.
