Isnt it possible(with some fab and trial and error and engineerin) to just run a smaller turbo and a larger turbo, and just use something like a wastegate or some other kind of valve to switch between them? or use a small turbo and once it exceeds its boost, to just use the wastegate to start spooling another turbo. Or even just put a small and large turbo on the same manifold with a cross over tube? I guess im basically trying to say...is there anyway to make your own sequential turbo system capable of higher horsepower. Just some questions i have no idea if this is possible or not...lol

In theory it's possible, but you'd have to completely isolate the two turbos if they're different sizes. If you didn't the big turbo would spin the smaller one backwards at higher boost levels.

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.
