Turbo Question
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I just ordered fi HFC and ark true dual exhaust. Will I be able to use those on a single turbo set up? I know very little if nothing about turbos but a friend of mine said I wouldn't be able to becuase the turbo hooks into the exhaust and it was a waste. I can still cancel my exhaust order before it ships so please help asap.

lol unless you really have the 10k+ to get a reliable single turbo kit actually installed just keep the exhaust.
edit: If you really do have the money, and intention, and most importantly the money to do a turbo install - start reading what you would need rather than buying parts now. Or if you aren't planning on doing all tha background research and what not, add an extra 10-20k+ to the price tag to have a shop do all the work for you.

I have 750cc injectors, stage 2 fuel management system, oil cooler, high capacity oil pan, 320lph fuel pump, one step colder spark plugs, rebuilt block and heads, and a few other things on my list so yes I have been looking up what parts I would need. Like I said I was going with a vortech so dual exhaust wouldn't be an issue but I heard turbo was better and I am clueless about turbos

Turbonetics single turbo tuner kit. Or boosted performance single turbo kit. Well I want to get up to the low-mid 500hp range and that's why I'm building my block and porting my heads but I was told using a vortech it would be pushing the vortech to its limits and turbo would probably be a better bet for that HP range.

To answer your question you would only have to worry about your turbo mounting point in a mid-mount set up because the turbo would be attached after the exhaust manifold. from what i understand with the turbonetics kit is the exhaust manifold is configured so that that turbo mounts on in a way that it won't cause interference so no cutting of your exhaust to make it fit.
Every single turbo kit on the market is built to bolt up to the "axle back" portion of the OEM exhaust. This is where the OEM Y-pipe would end.
It has nothing to do with anything you have mentioned. Every single turbo kit has a single exit pipe. This is why you see a lot of ST guys using single 3" exhaust systems. Each one of these kits also has to merge the two banks at some point to feed a single inlet turbo.
OP, if you are looking to make over 400whp, stay away from the TN kit.

Isn't the axle back portion of the exhaust the towards the rear of the car? The Y pipe from the exhaust system mounts up to the catalytic converters. or in the OPs new setup the test pipes. The premise from the original question is will the stuff he bought have to be modified to go single turbo in the near future. That answer should be no.
How do you plan on runing test pipes with any single turbo kit?

Read the OPs original statement. Will FI HFC and the true dual exhaust work, someone told them no but that is an incorrect statement. The turbo mounts off of the exhaust manifold. then to high flow cats or OEM cats etc and then to the exhaust system. So what i'm hearing is that the momentum, turbonetics, aps and other single turbo kits do not use test pipes?
