twin entry turbo wats that all about?
sounds to me like 2 inlets..
basicly it means that the two turbos get there own supply of gasses from the engine, the first turbo gets gases from the nymber 1 and 4 cylinders and the 2nd turbo gets its gasses from number 2 and 4. supposed to give better low down performance i.e less lag.

My brother has an Mr2 roadster, i was ripping him to bit when he told me he was getting one, giving him all the hairdresser jibs and that, anyway i love it now!
I'd defo have it off him, he bought it with a few extras already on, spoiler, bars behind seats, double exhaust etc. Sounds and looks sexy and its not too shy either!
looks better in real life.

Slow? A rev3 wil do 0-60 in 5.27s, rev1+2 are about 6.2/6.3.
0-100 in under 14s if you launch it right. Handing is spot on if you know how to drive a mid engine RWD. too many people go backwards through a hedge because they haven't a clue what they are doing.
A rev3 will top out at 162mph.

get a rev 3 upwards better all round car than the early turbos.......
they are a nightmare in the wet and the early rev ones and twos will be very unforgiving if you get them sideways, usually into a ditch.
apart fom that they are good fun, i had one but had constant clutch problems which was a shame
but when it was working it was fcuking rapid, and great with the t-tops off in the summer
dont buy a red one!!!!!
