I am FED UP with the Damn Vacuum Hoses In my car. I do not wanna pay 300 to diagnose the problem, and then 500 more to fix it. I wanna go single, but wanna do it in a calm way. I am wondering if any company makes a Single Kit with a Ball Bearing Turbo that will have almost no difference in Lag than the stock TT units when they actually work. I am a guy that goes overkill when replacing, and I am sick of the hoses. I also just wanna put out what the car would in stock form, or 300 HP MAX with a catback, filter, and pulleys. I wanna know if its possible to do this, and would I need a new Comp, like a reprogrammed one, or a Power FC. If anyone can help me, i would greatly appreciate it. I wanna weigh my choices before doing anything drastic

 

if you want minimal lag the apexi rx6 bb kit its very good! you will also want to get a powerfc, bigger secondary injectors, upgraded intercooler, upgraded fuel pump, i think thats all if you get all that you will have almost as much response as the twins with more power. another good alternative is the xs t04e kit which is designed for street and low lag although it is not bb so the apexi will have better response.

 

I have looked at some dyno graphs and I don't know that the Apex kit really spools that much faster than the XS kit. Don't let yourself believe that just because it is BB that is better ... it just has the potential to be better.

 

The Apexi and XS T04E are very similar in spool up. The only thing I dont like about the apexi turbo is that if it goes bad you are out $1800. The T04E is rebuildable for around $600. I think for the money the T04E is a better value.

If you only want to be in the low 300RWHP range, then the stock fuel system is more than sufficient. You might be able to get away with a remapped ECU and one of those 1:1-4:1 RRFPR to compensate for the increased VE the single turbo will create. Otherwise go with a PMS, Wolf, Haltech or Motec to control fuel/ignition.

My suggestion is to pay someone to fix the problem you are having with the stock sequentials.

 

I wanna thank everybody. I plan on staying low 300 until my engine goes, it has 85,000 miles on a mazda rebuilt block that was gotten at 35,000.

My main concern is even if I fix the problem know, will i always have boost problems in the future. I wanna go all out with the silicone hosing, bu just wanna besure that that is the end of the problems, and that it will not come back.

Plus, how much would a decent low power single kit go for. I know I can get the Blitz one for 3300-3500, I am a Blitz reseller, but i never sold one to a car, does anyone have one, and if so, how is it.

 

why put on a single to make 300hp when you can get 380+ from stock twins.

 

um.. that 380 rwhp (is that even possible???) - means turbos won't last long...

not to mention, atleast for myself, I'd rather make 400 rwhp reliably without straining the car, than make 360 or whatever, and running everything to the edge...
