The turbo on that one is pretty interesting, a 'single sequential' unit whereby two compressors are driven by a single exhaust turbine.
Thanks for that link. This video highlights the features of the Honeywell VNT Dualboost Turbo solution. It is very impressive piece of engineering: turbo compounding (sequential turbo), wastegate, and variable turbine geometry all in a single package.

It would make a lot for sense for Audi to adapt this solution.
