The rear manifold is either capped at the exit or a custom one is used.
See that large single pipe that comes out of the turbo and makes the downpipe? That'* where the exhaust comes out.

The rear manifold feeds the turbo. The usual downpipe position is connect to the BOV while what used to be the crossover pipe connection on the rear manifold is then routed to the turbo.
The Cartuning setup, as well as the Statama, have both engine banks driving the turbo. There'* no other practical way to do it.

It'd be almost impossible to have one manifold dump into the exhaust, and one into the turbo. Each bank would require very different tuning due to backpressure/scavenging differences.

Hell, the big power guys have problems popping pistons because of unequal pressures in the stock manifolds. I thing trying to run a turbo off one bank would probably blow it sky-high.

I think Cartuning has a cheap modified rear manifold available, they change #6 primary to flow in the direction of the turbo as opposed to flowing toward the old downpipe.
