Switching back to twin turbo from single

Hello,

A very quick question, and one that is not easily searchable.
I'm in the market to buy another FD and with so many single turbo's out there...

how hard would it be to switch back to twins? if I got my hands on a pair...

I prefer twin, its sentimental--no need to sway me to switch to single

Thank you,
00

just trade all your single turbo stuff for someones twin turbo stock setup, that would seem pretty easy to do.

Can't imagine it be too hard, ECU, harness, rats nest and all the plumbing?

FD's with their twins on them exist. They're not that hard to find.

The question is finding a good set of twins that would last you a while. Most of the used sets I bought here had problems, in my case, the first two used sets had turbines rubbing up against housing. Even the BNR's I bought had to be rebuilt.

FD's with the stock twins are def. still out there.

You could also go with aftermarket twin setup if that's what you really prefer.

Thank u guys for all the input

Also, I am located in California and due to our super clean smog/registration stuff I'd rather pick something up in the state, easier than trying to get something out of state registered.

of course there are stock twins out there...but I don't want to let some low mileage well maintained low priced pass me by just because it has a GT35

(unless of course it is a bitch to switch back)

Thanks again!

My neighbor is selling his FD soon. Black, mostly stock, small mods, twins, good mechanical condition. If you are having trouble finding a car with twins down there, hop a flight up here and drive home.

you will also want an ECU that supports the twins . but honestly most of the FD's I see for sale have the twins still . but like stated above if thats what youwant I can guarantee you alot of people would swap the twins setup for your single setup .
