RE: why twin turbo??
a large single trubo is more efficiant than a twin trubo set up but there are trade offs with the lag its harder to spool the twin since ist rotating mass is larger.
the twin turbos won't make the horse power that a single will but they are much more street freindly. spooling faster and alowing you to get the boost in a street aplication.
basicaly a twin set up makes more useable hp on the street than a large single.

The reason supras go with one big turbo is because they want more horsepower. When you buy a twin turbo setup its usually two smaller turbos-like 60 mm or so each. Smaller turbos spool faster so you get the power quicker with less turbo lag. With a larger turbo- like 88 mm- you get more hp b/c its a larger turbo, however you get more turbo lag and wont build this power as quickly and as soon as two small turbos.
On a mustang you dont HAVE to use a twin turbo setup. You can also use a single turbo. Some of the older foxbodies love them. Bottom line is a twin setup spools faster so its more fun on the street.

nice try the stock supra turbos are nowhere near 60mm

RE: why twin turbo??
the reason why they go with a single turbo in supras is b/c have an inline 6 (I6) so the exhaust manifold is on 1 side of the engine bay making it difficult to run a twin turbo. unlike the mustang that has V(exhaust manifolds on both sides) configuration so its easier to run a turbo on each side (twin turbo)
