Hi,

I can see the sense of using 1 vg turbo in the v of the cylinder banks.
However, turbos work more efficiently when the exhaust gas pulses are at 120 degree intervals as per 1980's f1 turbo twin turbo v configuration.

An example of such a configuration http://www.dieselpowermag.com/featur...ine/index.html

The turbo on that one is pretty interesting, a 'single sequential' unit whereby two compressors are driven by a single exhaust turbine.
