that's my bet. It had the stock twin sequential turbo setup, and he converted it to non-sequential turbo setup. A quick rundown....sequential is when one turbo spools up and then the other spools up. non sequential is when both turbos spool at the same time. That's the BASIC explanation. Welcome to the forums.

I suppose nobody actually answered your question.

All 93+ RX-7s come from the factory with a twin turbo assembly running in sequential mode. Some owners reconfigure the control system (simplify, actually) to run in non-sequential mode. So non-seq is a modification to the stock setup using the stock turbos.

Single turbos on a 93+ are always aftermarket.
