they are configured different ways on different cars but most production twin turbo import cars run a sequential setup where 1 spools first and the other later in the powerband. the turbos can be the same size and spool up can be controlled by the wastegate.

maybe someone with rx7 or supra experience can chime in and explain how its controlled. i know the rx7 has a rats nest of vacuum lines to control the sequential setup. most guys rip that out and go single turbo for racing.
