They're quite similar - the biggest differences are in price and reliability. A twin-turbo header is much more expensive, and a twin-turbo setup has twice as many failure points. The only reason Toyota went with an oem twin turbo setup is because the oem twins are sequential. The parallel GT2835s are parallel and have no significant advantage over a similarly-sized single turbo.

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.
