What extra parts do you need to make a single turbo go custom twin turbo?

twin turbo is NOT better than single. look at all the supra guys who UPGRADE to a single turbo.

This depends on the car. For a supra (inline 6), yes single T-78 or T-88 is better than than TT.
However, i've heard for V-shaped motors twin turbos work better.
My buddy has 96 supra w/Greddy T-78!
Just think about the bitchy manifolds you'd have to make to run all of the exhaust into one turbo.

That's why almost all V motors are twin turbo or bust.

My buddy had a stock turbo transam and it was a single turbo, but he built it even more and yeah it was fucking a huge turbo, like the size of a semi's I belive. But yeah, extreme turbo lag=torque steer and yeah he hit a phone pole. RIP transam.

If i were a supra owner, i wouldn't want a turbo as big as a t88, way too big, way too laggy. You won't make any power until after 5500 rpms, and even then it's just in short bursts.
When TT setups on supras are done correctly with bigger sequential turbos they make the power they want, and they make it alot quicker than a big laggy t-88.
Know only because a friend of mine just made 900 whp on the bottle off of a t-78 and he's moving onto a TT setup now.

thats the reason for TT, less lag using smaller turbos. but you sacrifice a "hard" hit up top.

i dont really know how it compares but I am guessing the sequential setup would cause the smaller turbo to spin slower or something b/c of the compressed air coming from larger turbo.
