its imposible to run a V motor with a single turbo.. it is a twin turbo..


EDIT:
The two exhaust gas turbochargers specially developed for the new V12, thanks
to the small cylinder angle of 60o, fit perfectly and in compact arrangement on
the outside of the two rows of cylinders, each supplying six cylinders with
compressed air. Through their position they provide the ideal configuration for
short, straight and therefore aerodynamically efficient pipe connections
between the exhaust manifold and the turbochargers. In combination with the
catalytic converters optimised for minimum counter‐pressure, the design and
configuration of the exhaust gas manifolds sets the basis for the outstandingly
spontaneous and direct response of the twelve‐cylinder as well as its supreme
power and torque.
