mmm.....3rd gen RX7s.........someday i'll own one. I had an '88 RX-7 convertible previously.........im a rotary fan at heart.
Rotarys for the win.

But in the case of the 3rd Gen RX-7s, they were sequential and the 2 turbochargers were different sizes and activated at different points in the RPM band.

Yes Adam, I know this. I had an RX-7 for 4 years and was on the RX-7 forums constantly, lol. But a big single turbo kit upgrade from the likes of Apex-i, HKS, Greddy or Speed Machine made a good bit more power over the sequential twin turbos.

Are Garrett GT45-08R & GT28-76R turbos really small turbos?
The idea is to have low end power which a big assed turbo won't provide.
The TT Supra and 3rd gen RX-7 that you referred to may have also chosen to do their swaps to reduce costs. Just a thought.
