4" charge piping being expensive again: $450
Oil line: $20
Turbonetics Godzilla BOV: $365
Spearco Intercooler Upgrade: $1275 (it comes with charge piping and a Raptor BOV but lets say we can't use it)
For all that which is already more then that twin kit you're at $5,931. I could still get injectors, an AEM EMS, a triple fuel pump assembly and full fuel system rework, HKS DLI, exhaust and some other stuff and still be under the cost of that twin kit. But I digress..

I like the big nasty singles for for drag racing, and the upgraded twins for road racing, or a broader power band. Most Supra guys are building their engines for big top-end power....so they choose a larger single turbo. As a result, they are slow spooling, and gutless below 4500-5000rpm. 
When I was in Panama for tuning, I had the opportunity to drive an AAP built Supra with a GT42R, making about 750whp at 18psi, running a Motec. Fast car, but spooled slow. It was a different feeling, but from 5500rpm to 8000rpm, it was scarey fast, and sounded amazing. We hit the "freeway" which was actually a toll road. I was told that if I get pulled over, just hand the guy my passport and $20, and we'd be on our way again!!
My kind of country.

There are quite a few Supra's making in excess of 800RWHP with Twin's. There are a couple of kits available and both HKS and Greddy manifolds are available as a seperate unit. The HKS kits is rediculously expensive becasue of the turbos which HKS Japan has designed and built based on Garrett frames. GT2835's and 3037's will make 800+. GT3240's will make over 1000. Saad Saad's Supra made 1200 irrc with 3540's. The benefit to any twin is that spool is quicker then with a single. Most of this is at 28+ PSI though.
