twin turbos are a thing of the past......why not just run a single turbo and have a setup with less complications. cars the like vr4, rx7, and supra all used twin turbos because the technology was not as advance as it is now days with ball bearing single turbo setups.

Exactly. Nowadays you can find turbos big enough and that spool fast enough to eliminate the need for a sequential setup.

It'd be tough to run a single set up on a "V" motor. Which is why cars like the VR4 and 300zx were twin turbo'd. But I do agree that for inline motors, a single is much easier nowadays.
