What turbo, manifold, wastegate, fuel setup, etc... Post how much you spent, and where you found items. I'm still in the process right now, and wanted to see what others have done.

I suggest you think about it. I did it, and you will barely save any money after everything is said and done, not to mentioned all of the things that you need to work yourself (like downpipe, wastegate recirculation, etc)
The new manifold Jason carries in the turbo kits from rx7store.net are nice. If you are looking to go single and are trying to do so on a budget it is a good option to consider. Fuel and ignition items can easily be sourced in the for sale section for a bit of a savings, usually.
What car are you looking to mod and what mods do you currently have?

if i had the chance to build my single turbo set up it would consist of of a mildly large turbo someting along the lines of a T04Z or the old HKS T51, have a full fuel set up 850cc primarys, and 1680cc secondarys. i would also have a double pump set up problay a 255 supra pump in tank with a bosh 044 under the car. i would also use one of Jason's (RX7store) manifolds they are of high quality i have installed them on many FD's. wather/meth injection is also a huge plus when going to a single turbo conversion the AEM kit is my personal favorite and run a HKS Twin power ignition box and you should be set to make great numbers.
Im right in the middle of finishing my setup as we speak.
-Forged Performance turbo manifold $ 850
-Precision 6262 turbo with large t4 exhaust side $ 800
-Turbonetics swing gate wastegate $450 ish last i checked
-Twin aermotive 340 intank pumps $ 160 each
-Injector dynamics 1000/2200 havent checked on price yet but i think T1 has the cheapest price on these.
-Forged Performance V-mount setup $ still working on final price

I only have fuel stuff so far... I have 1300cc secondaries, and plan on using 850s in the primary location. I also have a Supra pump. I do have a water/meth kit, but it is an inexpensive Coolingmist one. I have seen the manifold's at rx7store, and they are nice. I would probably use one of those.
