The turbo chargers are still so very far away from the exhaust ports. With the bends and distance, so much energy is lost...

Here is another attempt from off Nasioc. (nasioc seems down at the moment, hope the link works)
http://forums.nasioc.com/forums/show....php?t=1011798

But they too miss the entire point that a twin turbo system solvles the issue of placement of the turbos with respect to the exhaust ports (due to the nature of the engine design being a V6,V8, Flat, etc ). If you dont succeed in getting the turbos nice and close to the exhaust ports, one turbo just going to be more efficient.
