The idea is to separate the exhaust pulses that affect each other. Three cylinders to each turbo, 2 to one scroll and 1 to another where the 2 cylinders which doesn't affect each other as much in terms of firing sequence will go to the same scroll. You just need to have the paths optimised to that setup.

It is quite academic anyway, as I believe it is no longer setup that way although it might have been the valtronic giving them issues to put that setup on.
So how are you going to handle the transients with one scroll getting twice the exhaust gas of the other that feed the same turbine?
