Just a bit of engineering geekness, twin entry means just that. Still only one turbo though.

Twin entry turbocharger:

Multi-cylinder engines have ranges in which there is some overlap in the
exhaust valve opening timing of one cylinder and its sequent cylinder. This
can cause interference to the exhaust gas flow where the exhaust gases from
the two cylinders join and results in exhaust energy loss in the turbocharged
engine. Also, cylinders which have just finished the exhaust process are
affected by the high back pressure of the exhaust initial process, so that
high pressure gas remains behind more easily. This hinders smooth intake flow
to the engine.

This exhaust gas interference is eliminated in the 3S-GTE engine by providing
two exhaust ports, for cylinders No. 1 and No. 4, and for cylinders No. 2 and
No. 3, together with two scrolls inside the turbine housing. This new design
increases the engine's low-speed performance and acceleration response.

actually an easy mistake to make if you dont know jack about cars. which is the only reason you'd buy a gt4 in the first place :wink: i used toget asked if my 185 was twin turbo all the time by jackasses , the 2000 twin entry throws em.
probly 40% of the people who buy performance cars wouldnt even know what a turbo looks like or where to find it.
