if they were resurrected they would slap you for wasting that money on something useless.

Also, if you cash those bonds before they mature you might not even have enough money left over for a single turbo after you get taxed.

Can You sag turbo lag, those things will never spool at around 4500 maybe, and then it might launch, it would be very annoying after a while, Dont do it. Just get a really nice turbo like T3/T4 turbo and build the motor up really nice, and boost the hell out of it.

Thats a good point and I'm curious. What are the advantages of TT vs T? I thought TT used a small and large turbo (since we only have on header) and the small one spooled the large one quicker?

the idea is that the smaller turbo will handle the lower rpm range and the bigger one will pick up the slack once the smaller one becomes ineffcient.

the problem is that just by introducing the extra turbo there are 900 other variables that are added.

if it comes stock TT and you keep it stock then generally it's a good thing because the cost of it is not as much, but to go ahead and modify any stock car for TT is basically just a money pit with nearly no gains over a similarly priced single turbo setup once you finally get it up and running.

plus a single turbo requires minimal tweakign with new add-ons, vs a TT which needs to go thru a whole 'nother process


this is the reason supra owners 99% of the time go single turbo

Ok I understand now. Two turbo's spooled differently would definatly be hard to tune. Wow, that would be a pain.

just thought that i would add a little tid bit that i didnt see mentioned the h22 has weak cylinder walls on top of new internals the block would have to be sleeved and in regards to the twin turbo there are few exceptions but sigle will run far more efficient most of the serious racers with tt supras convert to a single turbo for better efficiency
