Please help with new turbo decision..

Okay so here is my dilemma.... I want to start tracking my car next year and I have decided to upgrade my turbos. I have been doing some research but I am still a little "green" as to what would be my best option. These are my current choices-

-APEXi Rx6
-99 spec twins
-gt35/40

So wadda ya guys think? I'm shooting for atleast 350rwhp but would like to have 400rwhp if possible. I'd like my car to remain as streetable as possible. Thanks in advance.

i have been reading and researching the single turbo thing for about 8 months now. if i had the money right now, i would drive my car to illinois, and leave it at a-spec tuning for a gt35/40 or gt40 kit install and tuning. check out their site. not much content, but it outlines their kits. i've heard nothing but good things about them, especially about the support they continue to provide after the install and i'll probably end up there this winter.

rx6 is out of production i'm looking at a TO4E myself Turbo XS... but that will be a year or two down the road i wouldn't do upgraded twins, for the money you are limiting yourself. go with the GT35/40 if that's the only choice you are leaving yourself.

I would make sure you have better cooling, rad. oil coolers first. Run your stock twins for a year at the track. Learn the line and how to drive at high speeds then slap on that single. IMO.

I'm actually waiting on a new radiator until I got to a v-mount setup and I'll buy new oil coolers when I buy the single or 99 specs. I guess it does make sense to take some time and get my car on the track in its current state. I dont think that I'll be able to wait another year for more power But, thanks for the insight Pat.
