It would be very tough... and interesting to say the least... as there are 2 banks of cylinders, but only 2 cylinders per bank. You would have to get an aftermarket manifold for each bank that would run into each turbo. I'm not sure how effective it would be with only 2 cylinders per bank, not a whole lot of exhaust running to each turbo.

For small engines (4 banger in this case) it is of course better to use a single turbo, because it produces sufficient exhaust gas just that one turbo efficiently. For larger engines, it is usually smarter to use a pair of small turbochargers instead of a big one, because small turbines result in less turbo lag. But they are able to produce enough exhaust gas to power both turbos.
