Could be the Second Turbo is for high end power IE Horspower vs adding more grunt at the low end.

twin turbo would reduce turbo lag as well, plus I'd say the twin turbo would have 420Nm of torque available across a wider rev range.

agree with genie, 420Nm available across wider rev-range. I guess they limit to 420Nm to keep the transmission in one piece. Chip-tuners will no doubt be able to get 500+Nm.
