twin turbo rx8?
#26
If powers what your looking for to decide on single or twin and the greddy kits not doing it for you there's a kit out from SFR that puts 326 hp to the rear wheels. Throw in a cat deletion pipe and don't worry about the second turbo.

Other than packaging constraints, there is no reason to dismiss any particular setup out-of-hand.
You need to evaluate your flow requirements in any application and decide what will fill it.
As Tim noted, you can get two smaller turbos to effectively act like a bigger one with a wider efficiency range.
However, as noted elsewhere, modern turbos can have enormous 72% or better bands in their flow maps - even at 35 lbs of air (which is how much the Renesis can ingest at 9k RPM and 14 PSI) - and still operate with turbines that can spin up to those speeds by 3500.
Personally, I think its not a good solution for any reason other than bling. Then again, I am not the kind that shuns bling. Sometimes, you just want to give 'em a reason to come running and that outweighs the difficulties to some extent.
If you have the cash and/or the skills, nothing is out of bounds if you have done the math.
