Single Turbo Set-Up Questions

Before anyone say this...I'VE ALREADY SEARCHED! :p Anyways!

One of my turbos just blew so now I'm left with the decision to either get a some rebuilt stock twins or go single. My question is what components are necessary to go single turbo. I'm currently looking at the Garrett GT35R and it comes with the manifold and the downpipe which are the main parts that you need. Besides that what else is absolutely necessary? For instance is a new intercooler necessary? I know it's a good idea. Same for fuel delivery and of course I will need a BOV. Just wanna make sure I don't miss anything.
Thanks!

There is no way you have searched...At all...This is the most fundamental information about going single its outrageous. Its in every single turbo thread pretty much.

To sum it up, your gonna need a lot more than just the turbo kit!

PS. I doubt one of your turbos blew. I bet you just popped a vac. line. That happens a million times more than the turbos actually goin out.

Not when the turbos are smoking and oil is leaking from them and out the tailpipe. :p
I did a search and it came up with everything but what I was looking for. I hardly post cause searching answers most of my questions. Anyways I've just decided to stay stock twins.

Look into the BNRs also. They bolt right on, and make much more power than the stockers....i run them parallel and the power is comparable to a T-78. Run them sequentially, and look out

You can see my dyno chart in the time slips/dyno section.

Nobody can really tell you "exactly" what you need, as it all depends on what you will be doing with the car.

However, the best place to start is by looking in the Single Tubro section to see what people are using on their cars with that turbo. Here's a start:

And I agree with all the above...I doubt you "really" searched.
In any case, my single turbo install link provided. And unlike pretty much every other website and Single turbo list I've seen I listed the price for every component I used to illustrate just how much it REALLY costs to go single.
