No...no one has put twin turbos on an MR2. It is most likely twin entry and the retard that put up the add didn't know the difference between twin entry turbos and twin turbos...

I was just about to say that...you can twin turbo a V6 pretty easily and it's been done. But the add doesn't say it's a V6 twin turbo. Plus that wouldn't be smog legal in Cali.

This falls under the category of "buyer beware!"

Other examples of this are as follows:

For Sale: Beautiful 3 bedroom home in quite neighborhood! Newly remodel, with skylight!


For Sale: 2004 convertible!!! Perfect for this coming summer! Won't last long!


Moving to new country! Must sell car and home! Car comes with lift kit! Home has newly installed skylight.Bidding is for both! I will not sell separately!
