Also, it appears that you have done absolutely NO research what so ever into the FD. The reason the car “falls on its face” at around 5k RPM is you are hitting the transition between the primary and secondary turbo. And, it doesn’t fall on its face, the standard boost pattern is 10-8-10. You are probably monkeying with it around that period and letting off just as the secondary spools.
Do not get a single because you apparently have no clue what to do with a stock set of twins.

Kids, don’t grow up to be this guy.
If you want to get into any type of motorsports what so ever (autox, drag, drifting, track etc) then learn your car or learn to trust in someone else that knows your car. When experience people give you advice then take it to heart. You don’t have to agree with it (as Turbo II doesn’t agree with my shim method) but it is information that can help you to get the car the way you want it.

The primary points you are going to have to worry about with any car that sees any type of harsh duty due to motorsports are going to be temperature and pressure. You want to make sure that your car’s vital fluids are not overheating and causing wear to your engine and that there is enough pressure to get these fluids to the areas of the engine that they are most needed. A quick trip through your specific generation’s FAQ section will show you where your model’s weak points are and what should be addressed first.

To the OP, I am sorry but this forum doesn’t support crayons and flash cards so I don’t know how to describe this anymore simply than I already have. I hope to god that you have made sure that you have looked into the oil pan slosh issues with your LS series motor that you have in your BMW and have some sort of accusump setup because the way you are going it sounds like you are going to have 2 cars with blown motors on your hands.
Alright. It's not the turbo falling on it's face. I found it was fuel starvation due to the 93 tank. I got the info about the twin turbo screwing up.... STRAIGHT FROM PETTIT. Right down the road from my house. If you wan't to call them up and argue with what they told me then be my guest. And no, most of you havent been telling me how to keep the engine reliable. Talk of ebrake this, feint that, mod your spindles etc. You were actually the only one with real advice so I thank you. I am new to the rotary thing and that's the reason I asked about keeping the engine reliable. It's fine though, I have not gained any extra knowledge from this thread then I previously thought I would need. Thanks for all help, mods please lock.

Some yes, some no but that is what you are going to get with an online forum. You always have to wade through the crap to get the few little nuggets of real information.

The reason you are getting the starvation is due to fuel slosh in the tank. FD fuel tanks do not have very good baffles and have issues when the tank is low. I highly recommend investing in one of these.

It is a surge cover to keep fuel around the pick-up

eliminate omp n premix. . . premix= way better for your motor. upgrade intake manifolds cuz the stock ones makes the fd lean out at times. (front rotor at low rpms n rear at high) or just get bigger secondaries n a re amemiya ecu or somthing or just get a power fc (FTW)
