Anything is capable of working provided your wallet is large enough.

Do you run in a class that has a twin turbo penalty? If not I'd go with a tried and true TT kit. Just my .02.

Good luck.

Where about's are you located? I'd start by finding some local forum folks who can show you their setups.

You should check out a few different setups before you commit to a large purchase.

Do you have a power goal in mind? Have you established a budget?

650 is easy to make with the FI available.

It's probably more cost effective to buy one of the kits available than trying to do your own single.

Use search, you'll be reading for weeks
