Question what do I need to go single?

I'm in the process of having my motor rebuilt right now. Probably going with a monster street port, hurley 2mm double spring race seals, mcmaster coolant seals, coolant and oil passage porting, and e-shaft plug. Depending on how much this is going to run (depends how messed up my current motor is inside) I am tossing around the idea of going single. I'm pretty much maxing out the twins, and I would just like to make it simpler. Last dyno was 358.7 rwhp and 289 ft/lbs at 15 psi, tuned relatively conservative with af ratios in the low 11's Here is my current setup:

1993 RX-7 painted Porsche arctic silver with blue pearl
99 front end modded to eliminate plate holder
99 wing
KDR streetported motor
SR upgraded twins
Apex power fc
RC 1200cc secondaries
stock igniton with new leading coil and wires
NGK 10.5's leading and 9's trailing
M2 stock upgrade fuel pump (pretty sure its a Cosmo)
M2 intake
M2 downpipe Jethot coated
SR resonated midpipe
Greddy SP catback
M2 large intercooler with dual 8" fans
Mazdacomp radiator
no ast
RP main pulley
Greddy pulley kit to eliminate air pump
M2/AD coilovers
M2 toe links and trailing arms
Jim's unobtainum bushings
Cusco front and read bars
Energy Suspenion swaybar bushings
KVR slotted rotors
Hawk HPS pads
Speedbleeders
stock wheels with 245/45/16 Toyos
Boost guage
etc, etc...

I'm seriously considering the GT35 turbo kit that was recently released. If I were to go single, I plan to sell my twins. They have less than 15k miles on them. I can also sell the intake and dowpipe. Could also sell solnoids, checkvalves, y pipe, etc. I don't think the 1200cc injectors will be enough. I could sell them and go with Bosch 1600s and a custom fuel rail. Not sure if my fuel pump is sufficient. I'd have to get the intercooler inlet pipe custom fabricated. What else do I need?

Thanks.

I'll probably need to upgrade the ignition too. Was looking at the Ignition Solutions box. Alot cheeper than the twin power, easier install, and supposed to do the same thing.

What do you want for your twin turbo? I just bought a 93 Touring with bad turbos and cant decide wether to go with a single turbo from the get go or stay with the twin setup for now. If your interested in selling them email me at jhammerrx7@hotmail.com Thanks

If I get an ignition, it will be ignition solutions. My mechanic says I don't need to up the ignition unless I want to run more than 15 psi. I'm going to stay stock ignition for now, at least untill I break the motor in.
