Hey im looking to remove the twins and want togo single but its alot of cash anyway i can run the fd without the turbos? And if so what will i need to do to get it running for the tine being.
Why don't you leave everything the way it is, collect all the parts first, and then (when you have everything) take your car apart and convert it to a single turbo?
It will take more money to get it running N/A than its worth. Leave it as it is until you can afford a single. If that's not an option then you probably can't afford the car.
You just need an NA 13B header ($250) and will have to have a mid-pipe custom made to connect the header to the cat back section ($???) and a Power FC or other aftermarket ECU (stock base tune will be fine) ($500-1,500) and put an air filter ($25) on the throttle body elbow.
Probably want a cat (stock is fine) or all stainless pre-silencer in the mid-pipe since NA rotaries are LOUD.
Then you can remove as much emissions and twin turbo items as you want. If you just remove the twin turbo controls and leave the stock ECU you will get codes and probably a limp mode.
If you want to run stock ECU you can do that too, just leave all the twin turbo solenoids (rat's nest) in place.
Should make 150-180rwhp depending on whether you tune it or not.

Uuuh, get it running?
Well, sounds like you need to find out why it stopped running fix that and then get a rebuild which won't be much harder if you leave it turbo.
I ran my FD na for close to a year back in 09'
bought it non running turbos toast, wiring harness taken off to rewrap.
I bought a power fc and a used set of twins.
put them on and they just poured oil out. Total junk.
wasn't sure if it was oil control rings or turbos for sure
bolted a used fc header on, blocked off the oil feed,drains and coolant.
cut off the tb flange and welded one on the right size and angle to bolt to FD stock cat.
drove it na and no smoke screen. Tried a couple other junk sets and ended up waiting and saving up to have them rebuilt out of 5 sets of bad twins.
It ran pretty rich I tweaked the tune a bit with the Pfc to improve idle, ect. Was quite slow and very loud. Felt about as slow as my s5 na very I had at the time

I applaud the ambition and no offense, but like a lot things I did when I was 20-something, you're gonna look back someday and think..."that was just f'ing wrong".
I am interested in what a REW would make NA as SCCA has a race class where engine swaps are allowed. Including engines that came factory turbocharged, but with turbos removed.
With no porting allowed in engine, intake, or exhaust, but seals, coatings, balancing, ecu, exhaust are free what could an NA REW make? would it make similar or more power than a S5 NA?

Only "development" of stock 13B-REW and stock intake manifolds I have seen is from Anniversary Racing Factory in Japan who specialized in Naturally Aspirated rotary engine racing.
Looks like one that made the most power was 182.4PS or 180rwhp.
