Of the five you listed, the DTC is the only control solenoid that would affect sequential turbo operation. You wouldn't need to diagnose sequential turbo problems if you have an Apexi single turbo would you?

Lag for the the T88 and similiar, and an FD with 500rwhp on street tires isnt really any quicker on the street from a dead stop if you cant get it to hook up.
I think its a personal preference and if you know how to diagnose the twins there not that bad. But if you dont have the knowledge of the set-up, then single is the way to go, in that respect.

A wastegate has a HUGE impact on spool.
Don't believe me - go loosen up your WG to it's loosest setting and see how it drives. Then crank it down and see the difference.
Stiffer wastegates = better spool. The gate stays closed longer and the BC has less work to do.

What do a 500 hp Supra and a 900 hp Supra have in common?
They both run 10s.

The Factory Shop Manual has a trouble shooting matrix for diagnosing the factory sequential turbo control system. Once you know which and where those specific solenoids are, it's not all that complex. My point is that those solenoids you referred to have nothing to do with turbo control except for the DTC. IF that goes bad, the DTC butterfly doesn't open, you get no more than 5 psi boost.

There are people who remove the DTC system, altogether, while not affecting turbo control to eliminate the possibility of having the DTC fail and not allow the DTC butterfly plates to open, thus limiting boost to 5 psi, even when the motor finally warms up.

I'm not sure what you mean by this? The double throttle solenoid is not needed for sequential operation. He is right on in saying that by getting rid of those 5 solenoids, you basically halve the number of vacuum lines in the system.

Niether are probably very streetable.
Does one really need 500-900 hp on the public roads?
10s are extremely tough to do with a factory-based drag car...
I'm beginning to think you live in a dream world, my friend.

if i were to upgrade my turbo setup, i think id get the bnr's, or this: http://66.216.67.51/product.asp?0=220&1=362&3=720. i prefer the constant power of having 2 smaller turbos. i dont drag race, or race at all for that matter, so a smoother power band is for me. but to each their own.

Oh, ok, I follow you now. Traction and driving skills are KEY!

I don't think these run sequentially.

Ahhh, your point is that if the actuator or solenoid fails and results in closed plates the entire time.
Just remove it and use a blockoff plate.

You like the DTC? C'mon.
But are you a LOTR fan (I am not)? It was a joke about the type of people who would have certain humour go right over their heads :P

In the end its personal preference, theyre both great systems, it depends on what you want in a car, the seq's are great for daily driving, but if your hp crazy its usually the single set up, not saying that some twins dont have a lot of hp, just usually its the single, In the end is personal preference, what you want out of ur rx7...
