coz its uber cool. nah seriously though, it beats having to get under the UIM each time you have boost issues. single gives you that much more control over troubleshooting problems. some may disagree and quote how responsive twins are but it really depends on your driving style. did i already coz its uber cool

Where in CA are you?

If you're in SoCal and thinking about going single. I can give you a ride in my FD, that way you can feel the response and power compared to the stock twins.

Hey there smart one. .. I am still on the AF61r, and it has decent response. I see 15psi by 3700.

The KAI would be another story, I'd expect 15psi around 4500.
