Going single turbo :D need a little help

hello everyone. I have owned my 94 rx7 for about 2 years. Long story short one of my turbos blew and now its a perfect time to go single turbo. Im getting a great deal from a freind of mine on a 52MM with headers/wastegate.. all thats needed to go single basically. My brother and I will be doing all the work.

I'm not trying to get high HP numbers.. just a replacment similar to the twin turbos.. only single so running around the same PSI if not less.. since more CFM.

basically i just wanted to know what must be done to the vacuum hoses that goes to the solenoids to the turbos... or any other solenoids... Would this be a good time to get rid of the Smog pump? I would appreciate anyone that can just do a quick write up of all the vacuum hose directions or maybe if i can call somone. I really want to finish my RX7 before school starts.

Any info would be appreciated!
Yes i searched i havnt found much info on the vacuum lines.

It's a hell of a lot of work to do it right, I just finished the conversion myself. You can remove the entire rat's nest---solenoids, check valves, vacuum hoses, everything. If you want the kit to fit, most likely you'll have to ditch the air pump. Is your header/manifold specific to the FD?
