it's my understanding that supras use v6's. at least i know they do in the naturally aspirated versions. do they use a completely different motor for tt? would be kinda weird, 300zx & mitsu 3000gt both use v6's.

no idea what 11-9-11 means. psi? i know the smaller turbo (less inertia) spools real quick and at around 4500 rpm hands it over to the secondary turbo. the secondary is turning and is pretty much up to speed at the handoff point.

[Quote]For real performance most of the Supra guys eliminate the sequential aspect of the system and have the turbos light up at the same time.[QUOTE]

when the supra guys want big hp, it's my understanding they go with a single turbo, not twin or twin sequential. big lag but big power. mostly applicable for drag.

On a 951 you can get 350 to the wheels and still achieve max boost at 3000 rpm. I'd say any hp over that and you're looking at major reliability problems.
yeah, i don't think i'd subject my baby to any more hp than that. probably less.
