I supposse the two main ways are....
1, 1 small turbo feeding a bigger turbo......
2, 1 turbo per 3 cylinders.....X 2 !

The last conversion I did was by and large the same as the one on the red cab in PBMW, with cyls 1-3 feeding exhaust gas to one turbo, and 4-6 feeding another of the same size.
This is by far the simplest way of doing it (mine's for sale if you're interested
) as it doesn't require any control circuitry or valves in the exhaust or air streams.
