Well if Audi has gone and placed the turbo in the center of the V, even at 120 degrees, it becomes a packaging issue if they have more than one put there. But looking at the roof inlet, there just simply doesn't seem to be enough cross sectional area to feed two turbos. So I'm inclined to believe it's one, possibly located within the V, feed by the roof, and a 120 degree block angle to push mass lower.
But let's entertain one more location, in the bellhousing. For years Champ Cars, when they were turbo, put their single turbo in the bellhousing. This would allow the turbo to be low from a CG standpoint.
