Why not? Don't split the port and run them like ITBs. you can modify the servo opening rates in the ECM to generate your own tumble at low rpms. Problem solved. Or run dual servos on each side, one as the main "throttle" plate and the other as a TGV.

Or don't use the TGVs as ITBs, but rather use ITBs to generate tumble like the TGVs do in the first place. That's all I'm saying. There are a lot of different ways to tumble the air, or change intake velocity.
