Depends. 

My thinking is that if you have multaple weapons on a turrent ,
especially
if the rules say it can not have that many weapons (like the AV9A2
gunship, with 2 barrel weapons, 2 missile pods and 1 APSW for a roughly
size 3 vehical), you could justify it by saying they are linked and take
it as the next size up.

EG, 2 MDC cannons on the AV9A2 gunship can be either 2 size 2 or a size
3
that fires as one weapon.

Thats right. Duel turrent weapons are the exception.
