Wouldnt you figure that is why a lot of TT Supra people go a huge single turbo.. TONS of variations here..

There is no way of simply "turning off" turbos - the only way would be to drive with less throttle or to stay out of certain rpm's at full throttle. Unfortunately the complexity of creating a sequential system is immense and you are unlikely to see any aftermarket option.
Edit: One thing that should be discussed is mechanical effeciency. TT's have a lower rating due to the two shafts (2 turbos vs. 1, 2 sets of journal and thrust bearings) and therefore more friction...even though friction is pretty slight with modern day ball bearing turbos, at 150,000 rpms a piece there's going to be some loss.
