... all the necessary fuel system upgrades.

I am so excited. I don’t think words can describe the feelings that I am experiencing. My hands are shaking and I actually breaking a sweat.

GotBoostd7: I am sorry for getting excited over just a turbo but I have every rite to be. I have been reading the single turbo section of the RX7 forum for quite some time, learned quite a bit from it, planed my turbo system to meet my needs, saved for it, and just a few moments ago bought it. My dream is coming true. I thought I could express my true feelings and stir some happy memories of those who’s foot steps I am following in.

RX-8: Thanks! I hope to be a positive contributing member of the single turbo section.

Peace,
-M

Itoen - Congradulations. You will never regret it... not only for the power gain but just for getting rid of all the twin turbo hassles.

Itoen - Good Move! Getting rid of the rats nest and all that mess will definately be worth it, the simplification of the engine bay and vacuum hoses is sooo nice!

Z tells me you also opted for the polished compressor housing and dp with wastegate that dumps back to it!

I remember the excitement when my GT35/40 showed up! I still have a great feeling everytime I shut the car down and get to listen to the turbo whine and spin down...

Here are pics of my kit incase you haven't seen all the pieces!

Thanks guys!

Although my twins are not giving me any problems, I dislike the nonlinear power band that they give. Thus they must go, and they can take with them all the destroying heat that they generate.

I hate to say it but I think I am going to leave the rats nest in, so that when I need to smog the car I can throw it back to stock and smog it.

Wish me luck as I am going to be doing the install myself and leaving the fabrication of the IC pipes to an expert.

I know you have every right to be excited...

Don't you think I was excited when I got mine?



Just thought the whole shaking and sweating thing was a little much, that's all.
