Actuallly, TT's are generally more suitable to V-config engines (v6,v8,v10, etc.). The thing that makes the MKIV Supra's TT special is the fact that they run sequentially. Other than that one fact, there's no significant difference between the performance of two small turbos or one turbo twice the size on an inline-6 engine.

Sorry, there are no larger-than-stock TT's available from the factory. In fact, there are no sequential larger-than-stock TT's available from anyone.

The internals are already forged (or close enough). The generally-accepted reliable max on oem internals is 850rwhp through a 6spd (i.e. 1000hp at the crank). The 'record' single-dyno-pull on oem internals is near 1100rwhp (about 1300hp at the crank)

Yes ... in fact, over 1250rwhp (produced by 2jz-gte's with 'built' internals) has been repeatedly & reliably run at the dragstrip on through the oem 6spd and the oem diff. Iow, the entire 6spd driveline (other than the oem clutch) is rock-solid. The oem auto tranny isn't quite as beefy, and does need upgraded internals above about 500rwhp.

NB: Please consider posting any help requests in a new thread instead of asking me for help privately. About 99.9+% of the time, private help requests end up covering great information that could be very valuable to other forum members. If you have a good reason for needing the help request to be private, I'll consider it. If not, then why not give everyone else the opportunity to pitch in too, and/or learn from the information? Remember, there's no such thing as a dumb question. We're all here to help within this family of Supra owners.
