more fuel, probably going to need 1600cc secondaries with some upgraded primaries possibly. As stated you will need a boost controller as well. You can drive with a stock diff you just cant launch the car. I have driven on my stock diff with single turbo for months i just have to baby it out of the whole if i am running from a dig.

I would get a beefier clutch as well. I don't see that ACT lasting too long with that setup.

Spec Stage 3 Sprung 6-puck. It's amazingly smooth and grips outstanding.
I imagine the ACT is comparable but don't know for sure.

hmm t2 dif. I never heard of that name. What about alcohol methanol set up? How much does that usually run? I saw rx7 store has it for liek $200 but then there are about 5 related products that seem to go along with it, I wasn't really sure what was "necessary" and what was extra.

Thanks for the posts

why not? the s4 TII diff can handle much more punishment at the drag strip than the stock torsen lsd can. It's a clutch type diff, the V8 fc guys have been abusing the hell out of those diffs for years with more torque than a rotary will make, and they've held up great .

Might want to look into some sort of ignition system also. And a TII diff. would be considered an "upgrade".

um, what? how is your post relevant to this thread and the question he was asking, bro? You're saying that every FD needs a body kit to look like a 'mean beast'? Get the **** out of here

HAHAHA no ****.... what a meatstick

I would get ignition for sure. HKS Twin power and upgrade the fuel as well with some 1600 secondaries, then 850 primaries. Is the 2 row front mount enough for that turbo? Get a radiator for sure.
