That'd be pretty weird. Why turn off the 1st turbo? What would be the benefit of that setup over a single turbo system? In other words, why would you think it was designed that way?

Yep the 1st turbo never turns off, except below about 2250rpms...

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.
