I think it's been done once (I think I saw pics). Usually it doesn't make sense to to a twin turbo setup on a four cylinder. It's a lot easier to just use one big turbo rather than two small ones. You'd either have to have sequencial turbos or one turbo off of two manifold runners.

V-6's make more sense to twin-turbo since you have two banks of 3 that you can put a turbo in with and have a much simpler exhaust route and charge plumbing scheme.

and even on a V6 you'll usually make more absolute power with a single turbo.

Only if that single turbo out flows the 2 smaller turbos...

On a V6 twin parallel turbos are ideal. The car that comes to mind in this case is the Nissan 300ZX twin turbo. Nobody sells a single turbo kit for it--all the big tuners sell upgraded twin turbos, one for each bank of cylinders. The piping is simpler with two turbos on a V motor than one turbo plumbed into both banks.
