maybe i should'nt listen to these guys so much
just said i'd ask you as i want to keep this car 100%, its the business
im not all that mechanicaly minded so i said i'd ask a pro
It's possible your friend doesn't understand the way the oem twins work in sequential mode in the 2jz-gte/jza80. Although it may seem that boost doesn't hit that hard between 2500rpms and 3500rpms, the #1 turbo is actually producing a smooth horsepower increase (beyond n/a)...so when #2 starts boosting at about 3500 rpms, there is no hard horsepower 'hit' as you feel in many other turbo cars. This may make it seem to someone not experienced with the mkiv that the turbo is lagging.

On the other hand, please contrast this to many mkiv owners that have tried their supras in 'ttc' mode. You do feel the two turbos 'hit' when they come on in this mode, but you'll also find it's actually slower in the 1/4 mile...

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.
