Before people get too carried away let me point out that there was NEVER a twin-charge kit produced for the 1GGZE. As Norbie suggested, there were single turbo manifolds produced by HKS/TRD but these were predominately used to replace the small twins, not necessarily to twin-charge a GZE engine.
Also, as someone else rightly pointed out, the blower will give huge bottom end torque but the overall power will still be dependant on the size and type of turbo. Even if you do manage to effectively plumb something up, there are other mechanical issues to deal with such as the type of cam to use (supercharging requires short duration, high lift whereas turbo uses long duration, shorter lift) and how the twin-charge valving system will operate.
While twin-charging sounds exciting, the reality is that modern turbo's (having low inertia wheels and design aided by computer) can provide very fast spooling that eliminates poor low-end response. I once got the opportunity to talk to a guy who owned a twin-charged 4AGZE. Even he admitted the set-up was far from perfect and the difference between this and a properly matched modern turbo was questionable.
