Mark's been busy. The reason so many supra's go single turbo is because of space. 300's just go larger turbo's since their entire inductions system is basically twin systems: Turbo's intercoolers, inlets, throttle bodies, etc. There's a lot more flexibililty in a single turbo than there are trying to plumb two medium turbos, appropriate external wastegates, etc.

most 300ZX owners stay TT, since the V6 configuration is easier to keep TT than it is to convert to single turbo........from what i've seen.
TT was something of a "fad" in those cars (RX7, Supra, Z32 TT, etc). because it was thought that a smaller turbo and a bigger turbo would give the car ultimate flexibility. small turbo for low-rpm, big turbo for high-rpm. soon after these cars were released, turbos leapt forward in efficiency, and it was possible to create the flexibility of a TT setup with a single turbo.

IIRC only the RX-7/RX-8's employ a sequential turbo setup. The other cars mentioned use parallel balanced turbos, each one fed by three cylinders. I do agree with the fad statement though.

Pic not opening now for me.
This is the motor in question. Plus the 9ff twin turbo for kicks.
