Single turbo fed by both heads. From this article, it sounds like an external wastegate with split downpipe is factory installed. I'm looking forward to eye-balling that.
From the aformentioned Autoextremist.com site:
"The 2.8L V-6 Turbo delivers maximum torque by 2000 rpm and maintains it through 4,500 rpm. Ninety percent of peak torque is available from just 1500 rpm. The turbo system features a unique, twin-scroll turbocharger. It has an integral bypass valve and is fed by two exhaust ducts - one from each cylinder bank. Separating the exhaust gas pulses with two compressor zones improves gas flow and reduces energy loss. The turbo system's charge cooler promotes performance by reducing the temperature of inlet air. Like the other engines in GM's global V-6 family, the new 60-degree V-6 Turbo features a lightweight aluminum cylinder block with iron cylinder sleeves, an aluminum structural oil pan and aluminum cylinder heads with four valves per cylinder, variable valve timing and dual overhead-cams. The new 2.8L V-6 Turbo is built at Holden's Port Melbourne, Australia, facility, along with 3.6L variants of the global V-6. "
