If that's the case then you maybe shouldn't even be considering modifying a large turbocharged car at this stage.
I to am looking into a single turbo setup for my car next year,first stop is the GTX turbo's by Garrett/Honeywell after seeing and talking to my friends experience with his new tune all I have to see now is what it does on the track if its as good as he talks it I'm officially going single.
Awesome! Good news, just choose carefully and there is no reason you should regret it
Turbo technology has come a long way, you can get awesome results with single turbos. I'm sure you have the opportunity to hear about if not experience first hand how your mates auto Supra is with the GT3582R.
Bare in mind the GTX turbos are in many cases slightly laggier than the straight GT series (like GT3582R vs GTX3582R) - at least for the people I know who have changed to them, despite what some of the marketing would suggest. They are also capable of quite a bit more power, but I'd treat them as a slightly larger turbo when deciding on what you want.
Turbonetics turbos have built a great reputation for being tough well built turbos, and had their time in the sun 10 years ago though in terms of spool/response etc they've been not that flash in recent history compared to their competitors - I'd assumed that the recent MASSIVE price drop on them was that they've stopped being competitive in the relative performance market and they've had to take the cost effective angle when competing.
