Message meant for twin turbos. Dual throttle bodies, dual exhaust...

Several single TB intake manifolds are in the works I believe, and if you were going to do a single-turbo setup those would be ideal. But then there is still the issue of getting the exhaust piping to work. A few have done it, but it's still not an easy task to design, build, and incorporate, by far.

So far, more max power has been achieved with the twin setup. The Z1-built Peacemaker had over 800 hp. 500-600 hp is fairly common with twin turbo setups these days. Do you really need more power than that?

Likely, you heard about single-turbo mania in relation to the Supra. B/c a Supra has an inline-6, going single turbo actually makes things LESS complex than the stock sequential setup. The same is true for inline 4 cylinders.

But even then, Toyota and Nissan engineers designed their cars with twin turbos for a reason- in general, two smaller turbos will spool up faster than a single, proportionally larger one.
