Just this one is mine now . Totally rebuilded and moddified to hold two turbos and looking for more reliability.
The reason to put two turbos basicly is to have more torque to reduce the noise wit out silencers and because the exhaust is very complex on a NA configuration and no espace with the flat floor.
The extra weight of the turbos is nearly as same as the two rear exhaust systems with mufflers ectr...

when you get it on the track, please post a flyby video. I'd love to hear this engine at full throttle.
today arrived the present of my wife... a new longacre coners weight scales!!
i got the new weight of the Supra.
1150 kg with out fuel and with street tyres.
looks like it will be the limit for me at the moment, it can be lower with an aluminium cosworth rear diff , cutting the front of the engine bay, rear hatch in carbon,... but before i need to get the new engine running espectacular! and maybe only maybe i will start to think to lower the weight more.
soon i will post the photos of the scales screen

At first I was thinking, "WTF is going on in HERE???" then I realized... dude. Good job!
Seriously, this might be the most extreme Mk3 I've ever seen, and I've seen a LOT of cool stuff over the years. It's a good thing I'd not seen this build before I started mine, you sir, would have been a BAD influence haha.
