Question series 5 hi-flow turbo on fd

Hi, im new to rotaries and this forum, and hopefully this will be easy to answer and i hope this is the right place to ask it.
Im looking at buying a fd, but the last owner has ditched the twin turbos in favour of a hi-flowed series 5 turbo.
what benefit would this have over the twin seryup, and would it produce any more power?

Thanks

you can make more power on the stock turbos than a hiflow. it just gets rid of all the seq turbo solenoids and valves and stuff

thats a shame the works already been done :-( but is it a really bad setup thats going to see me a lot worse off, or is it still going to make an acceptable level of power?

my friend has a setup like that, its a striaght bolt on for one, and for 2 it actually runs pretty good, its not as fast as the stock twins with the same mods (his has full exhaust, intake, intercooler) but it runs cooler

Series 5 turbos do have a pretty big exhaust turbine but i don't know about changing it out for twin turbos. Just think about that, you can get 10psi of boost at 2500k with twins.
