I hear most people prefer the single turbo over the twin design. People with supra's remove thier twin turbos for a single BIG turbo. So, ditto, I don't know why anyone would want a twin setup.

Hmmm...well your comment drifted a bit here but...

The dual exhaust is more of a looks thing than anything ese and doesn't help the car in any way other than looks. It does however add unnecessary weight to the car thereby hurting it in the end.

As for the dual turbo setup.....Singles are efficient and the reason they swap out for the single is because they are usually smaller sequential turbos. If you can have one larger turbo boosting once it is more efficient for the engine and has the potential to create much higher pressure. Besides synchronizing a dual turbo engine in a sequential stage setup is a pain in the ass.
