Twin Turbo is the same as the bi-turbo. It means the car has 2 turbo's.

Twin scroll turbo means it has separate passages in the turbine housing separating the opposite cylinder banks to increase spool up and reduce back pressure.

Closed deck turbo doesn't exist. There is a closed deck block. It means the the cylinders are secured to the side of the block.

The USDM STi will not have the twin scroll turbo. The JDM STi does have the twin scroll turbo. The twin scroll is supose to aid in response times for the turbo.

I don't know the type of turbo yet, trying to find out. but all I can say is the damn thing sure doesnt seem to have any lag. Probably a factor of the avcs and the low rpm in which it kicks in.

AVCS is also present in JDM STi.
