Used to fool a lot of people with the Mk2 MR2 - twin ENTRY turbo, people used to think there were two turbos

isnt this just the same application used on JDM evos and Scoobs? they use twinscroll setups, surely just the exiting pipe off the turbo, headers and downpipe which are different as apposed to a single scroll variant? normally better for spool and low down grunt

its still one turbo though

My Vectra has a Twinscroll unit fitted.

Nice & smooth delivery with it too.

I get the opposite, I've got a legacy GTB which is a twin turbo, I get told a lot that it isnt and only has one.
