Default Twin Turbo Question

Just wondering why anyone hasn't used 2 different turbos?
Like a small one and a monster one?

Maybe someone has and I just didn't noticed, but I thought it would be a cool idea to help give power everywhere.

its not easly done in a f-car as far as a sequnetial turbo setup.

we make enough low end torque, that 2 normal twins work great. The packaging for twins is hard enough, double the piping, and its impossible on a f/y car
