Intercooler and stock twins?

Hi,
I have some plans to buy myself/my car an FMIC. At the moment Iam running stock twin-turbos but in the future (next winter or something) I have plans for single turbo.
So, how shall I do. Shall I wait with FMIC until i have money to buy a single turbo kit, or shall I buy T FMIc who fits with my stock twins and the rebuild it for single later?
Is it hard to do that?

Thanks
Best regards
Viktor Skogh, Sweden

You just need new pipes later when you go single turbo.

IMO, just wait and do it all at the same time.

I'm having the 2-row FMIC installed with Japan spec twins at Rx7 Store. I'd stay with the twins

Iam using a exhaust from Pettit, 3" catback.
But I will change to HKS Hiper later.

Does anyone have any experience with stock twins running a FMIC? Does lag increase significantly?
