Thinking of going single, need advice.

I have a 93 RX-7 FD with 58.000 km on it, and I'm thinking of getting rid of the heat soaking twins. But the thing is I need some advice on which turbo is reccomended.

Specs per today: Stock w/Blitz Nur-Spec CB.

Upgrades coming:
Fuel system - Injectors, pump, FPR, maybe new fuel rails??
Radiator
Intercooler: Either Coolcharge 3 or Greddy SMIC - input?
Exhaust
Alu. AST
RA OMP adapter for 2 stroke oil.
Apexi PFC or Haltech PS1000 - input?
Engine rebuild, all gaskets, hoses, apex seals, side seals etc and maybe a street port. The engine runs nice and smooth so hoping new seals is all thats needed.

Anyway. HP numbers aiming is anything better than stock let's say anything between 300 and 350 rwhp for starters, all I want is a fast spooling turbo, but also one thats not out of breath at 7-8000 rpm. Heard good things about the GT35R. But any input and help is appreciated.

Regards.

So basically you just want someone to tell you what to do with your car?
You're not really interested in reading up on how to properly size a turbo to the car eh?

Come on man, we've put up a lot of info over the years that cover these topics.
You're clearly not ready (technically) for a standalone or single turbo, it shows in the type of questions you've asked which leads to some proof that you're not doing any reading - otherwise you'd know these answers.

I know Zero put up a ton of info years back (its still available for you to read) that gives a lot of info on hp, turbo sizing, etc. Come to think of it, so did Howard. So, up, off your duff - get to some reading!
