Actually both turbos are the same size. Common misconception. In fact, Toyota even produced some (incorrect) marketing literature stating that one of the two turbos is bigger. In fact, the two same-size turbos working together produces the increased amount of compressed intake airflow.

NB: Please consider posting any help requests in a new thread instead of asking me for help privately. About 99.9+% of the time, private help requests end up covering great information that could be very valuable to other forum members. If you have a good reason for needing the help request to be private, I'll consider it. If not, then why not give everyone else the opportunity to pitch in too, and/or learn from the information? Remember, there's no such thing as a dumb question. We're all here to help within this family of Supra owners.
