I believe the twins are not all for boost but to replace the variable turbos on some of the engines now. Twins have less moving parts and are more reliable. I think CAT runs twins on their emission engines but not sure.

Wow, factory twin turbos. Wonder how much boost it runs?

The twin turbos are not staged together but are for each cylinder bank. Allows the V6 to fit in a tighter engine compartment where hood clearance is a problem.

Paired with an automatic transmission, the International® VT 275 engine provides smooth shifting. Operators who are not truck drivers by trade will feel they are driving an SUV rather than a medium-duty vehicle. And, with the regulated two-stage setup of the twin turbo, one turbocharger is used for initial startup while the second is used at high speeds, providing fast response the moment the driver steps on the accelerator.

Could one turbo have a certain pitch on the blades to produce a certain amount of boost @ a given amount of exhaust pressure? And the other turbo has blades at a different pitch to deliver a different amount of boost at highway speeds? If that's the case, then that does sound kinda interesting.
