Just completed the Non-Seq Turbo Conversion.
Poor-man's method of course =) The installation took a tad longer than I thought since I had trouble taking out the TCA, but after that everything else was cake. (THANKS DONT_BE_A_RIKKI for the great and easy to follow info on your site)
The car has more lag on the low end, but not as bad as I thought. It use to start spooling around 2800K but now it starts around 3400-3500K. The mid to high end power feels a bit stronger, however, I do kinda miss the kick on the butt feeling when the 2nd turbo comes on. But most importantly, NO MORE BOOST SPIKE! Now my manual boost controller works great and I can boost more without worrying about spiking. Although, I still hit fuel cut, do they make a FCD for FDs???

Do it right, do it once

Stock twins spool quite a bit before 2800 rpm when working properly. They actually start to spool around 1700-2000rpm.
All non-seq conversions are the "poor man's method" IMHO. If you want to ditch the seq twins the "right way" get a single.
Anyway I'm glad your happy.

The PFC is a nice unit though.... if i'm up in MD with Rikki and them you have to hang out and I will show you what it's like. It clears up a lot of crappy issues with the stock system.
