Well if they way you talk / post is any indication you sound like a young kid who doesn't know much about rx-7's or cars in general.

You can't just go putting random "big" turbo's on these cars and expect to solve your need for power with just a bigger turbo. If there's any possibility that it's going to work you're going to need to custom fabricate a bunch of **** just to get the turbo to hook up.

I fail to see what my car's engine has to do with anything. I'd elaborate but I'd surely be wasting my time.

dude you have no idea how expense it is to go single! you need to do some research first then you will find that you need tons of fuel a ecu like the apex-i pfc intercooler and the piping also radiator and the list goes on and on. its not a weekend thing like you think alot of guys spend more money on making a single turbo work then they did for the car itself!

or you can not listen to me and everyone esle, and when you blow your car up let me know i need some parts

don't listen to these forum trolls...any turbo will work just as long as its bigger than the stock ones. There are five bolts you need to take off to get the stock ones out, and then just bolt the HUGE turbo on there and leave the left nut off.

keep us posted.
