The REAL Question

I have acquired a 1992 FD3s that has quite a few after market parts on it. mainly, its got a complete and good condition single turbo kit (Garrett T04e i think) obx manifold, greddy front mount, koyo rad.. etc etc..
A friend of mine is pushing me to single my car, but i really enjoy the responsiveness of the stock twins.

i mostly autox and gymkhana my car, so response is very important. I usually place in the top 3 drivers (out of 12 or so) and have never been lower than 8th out of 37 drivers. we dont have classes since its not organized by the SCCA or any other major stateside group.

Anyway, to the question.. should i single my car? Yeah, the car will be quite powerful (compared to stock), yeah i have all the parts, yeah i could do it all myself.. everything except tuning.

OR

should i keep it stock, sell the parts and save up for what i really want (gt35r) i dont have a huge car budget so its going to take a while before i am able to fully build my car how i want.

any suggestions would be appreciated.

btw.. watch for the sale thread soon. some parts are going on my car, i will be willing to sell and ship almost anything to you stateside guys. big stuff being the exception of course. everything will also have to go through USPS...
