    The 4g64 wouldnt be efficient with a twin turbo setup, theres not enough exhaust volume to take advantage of two turbos. A single turbo is always best on a 4 cylinder. The JDM 7g VR4 has a twin turbo setup, but it also have a v6.
    7g for life!

    more turbo's means more gaskets(more leaks) more studs(more breakage) more water lines( more pllumbing) more custom manifold( more money) more turbo's( more money) more turbos( more maintenance) more turbos( more failure) more oil( more leaks)

    with one turbo, you can cut all that in half, and a manifold will cost you bout 20 bucks.
