There isn't (as far as I know) *ANY* twin turbo front wheel drive car.. Factory or otherwise. Im sure there are a couple civics or something.. but that makes no sense.
theres a 1mzfe in Japan that has been twin turboed.. but I beleive it had dual throttle bodies or something.. It was for the tundra i think.. search for it, there have been posts before about it...
Rod Millen drove a Twin Turbo v6 Tundra in the up-hill races!
Thats great.. The S4 is twin's on a V6. Isnt the 3000GT twins? Maybe not. Anyways, yes there are twin V6's. There are NOT twin FWD cars. If there are, their numbers are <10 im willing to bet, and it definately isnt a Carmy .

300ZX is twin on a V6 if I'm not mistaken.

theres no point twin turboing a 3vz or 1mz, because it would take a huge amount of money to build up the engine so it could handle the amount of pressure applied from the 2 turbos. a single turbo is more than enough on these engines, because stock internals will blow at 10-15 psi anyways, you dont even need a BIG single turbo.
a sequential twin setup is always better than a single turbo- much less spool time.. i think we all know how this setup works, but i agree not practical unless you have hundred dollar bills to wipe your anus with

I don't mean to be an ass or anything, but you got your terms mixed up bro.
Sequential twin turbos have one turbine housing with 2 compressor housings (one on each end). Example would be the stock turbo setup on a 2JZ-GTE.
2 turbos on a V6 would be a twin turbo setup. One turbo on each bank of cylinders.
