Single turbo or twin turbo?

Appears to be the old single turbo. The new twin scroll 2.0L should debut with the 2017 Fusion along with Sync 3 and other updates.

 

Small clarification, a twin scroll turbocharger =/= twin turbo. (sorry akirby you're probably getting annoyed of this by now) a twin scroll simply means that it is a single turbocharger but the way in which exhaust gas is delivered depends on the volume of exhaust coming out of the exhaust manifold. At lower revs, this means less volume which normally would not spool the turbo however the engine should have a a butterfly valve or something that would make the space the exhaust travels through to the compressor portion of the turbo smaller. Same principle of long or short exhaust headers, applies here exhaust gas will travel faster through a smaller space which will cause the turbo to spool at lower revs. Then when more exhaust is produced at a higher rpm the butterfly is opened removing restrictions and allowing more flow to the turbine.

 

Anyways, not sure if you were wondering if there is a difference but there it is.
