Wouldn't a single turbo work better, along side of the supercharger? Didn't Dynamotorsports have a few issues and problems with their twin turbo setup on their Camry (which was originally built by Tony (If i recall correctly))

funny how you should ask.
Tony @ Dynamotorsport is like my neighbour now lol.
I've known Tony for few years by now. The guy is amazing, and I've gotten rides in most of his cars.
My Camry's custom swap was done at his shop, the car was tuned there as well. My custom supercharger install was aided by some of his custom welded parts also.
I plan on supercharging my car first and then turboing it with a large single turbo later on. Twin-Turboing the 1MZ or 3VZ would be a bad idea because of the way the motor is designed. It will generate way too much low end torque and produce average-ish top end power. This way the car has no traction and top end feels a lil choked. That is why Tony kept the TT setup on his car for only like 3 month before dropped in the HKS T51R KAI.

finished the project today.
oh man!!!!!! the new spark plugs gave the car a new breath of life!!!
i can't believe i did so much work on the car and waited so long for this project.
the car is superbly smooth now with the new plugs and wires. 5th gear has no more shaking!!! the car revs so much faster and sounds a lot quieter.
i cannot stress the importance of spark plug changes enough after this project.
a couple of pics from tonight:
looking clean considering the motor has 500k+ kms
