How do you plan to buy a single? Are you talking about a MKIII? Or you talking about a pre-modified MKIV?

If you're talking about mk4 supras (and not mk3 supras), since every & all single turbo mk4 supras have already been modified (otherwise there's absolutely no way a single turbo could possibly be on there), I guess you could say that overall (for the most part) a single turbo mk4 would probably be easier to re-modify. Taking those stock twins off is tough. On the other hand, the lower exhaust manifold nuts are a bit harder to access with an aftermarket tubular header though...and of course you'll probably pay more for a pre-modified single turbo mk4 supra.

Again, if you're talking about mk4 supras (and not mk3 supras), the only way you could "keep the stock turbos" would be to purchase a twin turbo mk4 supra, since every & all single turbo mk4 supras have already had the stock twins removed.

If you're talking about mk3 supras, then the vast majority of them are not equipped with stock twin turbos: most of them came with a stock single turbo (or n/a). The only exception is the relatively rare (especially in the US) 1jz-gte twin turbo...but those are non-sequential twin turbos (versus the sequential twin turbos in the mk4 tt).

I hope that helps to answer your question, although I'm still not sure that I understand exactly what you're trying to ask...

Yes, except the normally aspirated/non-turbo ones.

Really? Where did you hear that? I'd love to find the source of that bad information and ensure that it is stamped out...

There's plenty of headroom, unless you're wearing a helmet (eg. for track use). My buddy is a full 6'4"+, and he fits no problem.

Glad I could help.

Again, where did you hear or read the MK4 was offered by Toyota with an oem single turbo???? I really would like to get to the bottom of that misinformation and get it corrected before any others are duped.
