Simple question
Hey guys and gals, Im new to this forum and I am also saving to buy a FD in the not so distant future.
Anyways, I have a question that you might find extremely simple or stupid.
When you have a Twin Turbo and you want to buy a bigger turbo (ex. Garrett GT35R), do you need to purchase 2 turbos, or do you need to convert to a single Turboed engine? How does this work?
Thank you
Steve

You remove the entire stock twin turbo assembly off the passenger side of the motor, and install a single turbo kit (complete with manifold, wastegate, downpipe, etc) onto that same motor.
You will also need a plethora of other mods to run the single properly: engine management, fuel injectors, fuel pump, clutch.......

^ There's no "single turbo engine," but yah it would be better to start off with a single turbo'd car or one setup to be capable of running a single turbo. Just makes things a lot cheaper that way.

For the record, there are no *factory* single turbo setups on FDs but there are plenty of single turbo FDs for sale that were modified by their owners. *Aftermarket parts heaven* is a good way to describe FDs. Lots of gimmics, gizmos, bells and whistles
Read the faq in the 3rd gen section to get a good idea of what mods are highly recommended. You can try to buy one with the mods in place or get a mostly stock one and have the mods done yourself.
P.S. Don't bring up anything with Adam involving air pockets in your cooling system. Trust me.

I allways thought that there was a factory single turbo FD, guess I was wrong .
