Thinking About Going Single
I was thinking about getting the Greddy T-78 kit for my car. I have been searching a little bit, i was wondering other than the obvious like the turbo and the manifold what else really needs to be changed out, i will get a new fuel setup of course and probably stiffer suspension, what else internally would i need? Thanks for the help.

I think a price of 8-10k is still a little optimistic even doing most of the work yourself. I think was around 15k after every supporting mod to be able to get the car to work properly. Then of course **** broke and that costed me more to fix. Its never ending, but worth it.

Yeah the car is stock right now, well i have a greddy intake and NGK plugs and wires. I would most likely do it myself, the turbo is $3399 and i know all of the other stuff equals out to be well over another 4k, i knew i would have to change the fuel setup and stuff but i was just checkin. I will probably get 850cc primary and 1000cc secondary, denso fuel pump, power fc all of that good stuff u know.
So to my understanding from what you guys have said, take off the twins that i have and y-pipe and put on the new manifold and change out the fuel setup, what about the wiring for the sequential setup just unhook all of that??

Also this winter i plan on getting full exhaust dp mp and cat, is there a way just to bypass the air pump or should i just get the full pulley set and get rid of it right away?
Better yet just give me the site for the instructions on eliminating the air pump, i had it on my computer before we got it cleaned out. It was rob something.

I think you should spend a little more researching this before jumping into spending $10k+. Here's a write-up by Chris Regan to give you an idea -- he was much more modded than you before the installation: http://www.negative-camber.org/crispyrx7/gt35rpage1.htm

Gotta get rid of it! But that's a good thing.

oh, and the 200-300 dollars worth a stupid little crap that your local parts store carries. Things such as hose clamps, fluids, relays, wire, and other dumb ****.

Thanks for all the help, makes it a lot easier for me to get started. I figured i might as well go single anyways because everything that i was going to buy was on that list, except for BNR's or 99 spec turbos, i think i would be better off just going to single while i'm in the process of changing everything else out. Thanks again
