That is my car after I took off the #4 turbo, pre paint. Four is too many, it looks cluttered.
There was an actual Tri-Turbo Supra - not sure where it is now. Came out of Arizona - was a MkIV. I've seen it in Vegas a few times.
Money not considered, extra weight is what would keep me from wanting a setup like that. I much prefer the simplicity and lighter weight of a single turbo. Also, there are certainly single setups that have very little lag even at 600 hp.

how do you know it has no lag. or little lag? That's 2 cylinders/turbo. and what would you define as 'a lot of lag'
Man, Id try to figure out how to run it sequentially and go from 1 to 2 to 3. There would be nearly no delay:biglaugh:

what's a given? that it has no lag? I don't think so. IF someone had the dyno sheet somewhere, that would be nice.
no joe...
a given is lag sucks..
would you prefer a twin turbo 1jz that spools quicker or a single turbo 7m that has lots of lag, but makes big power?
i think we all know what your answer will be..

If you make big power with a big turbo/turbos, you're going to have an increased amount of lag, period. You never get something for nothing.
I'm not going to answer that question because it doesn't really have anything to do with what we're talking about. You already know which option I'm going to choose because you know my preference on Supra engines. So it's not really helping your arguement any by asking that... A better question might be would I rather have stock twin super fast spooling 1J or single turbo 1J with maybe 500-700hp. and my answer to that would be single turbo hands down. stock twins get boring after a while. and single turbo is not automatically linked with 'lot's of lag.' a 500-600hp turbo doesn't have 'lot's of lag.' If you want a lot of lag, think GT47.
again, what do you describe "lot's of lag" as?

you're making a mole out of an ant hill..
all im saying is the less lag the better....
the end..
The Powerhouse Stage 1 turbo kit hits full boost (18psi on the stock [MKIV] fuel system) at 3600-3800 rpm, and a little sooner with the ball bearing version. 520 rwhp on the stock fuel system.
Here is the dyno graph of this turbo kit, but with upgraded fuel system and running around 29 psi, I believe:
