No Richardbr, we have two - the single (twin scroll) turbo 3.0l engine badged 3.0d and the twin turbo 3.0l engine badged as 3.5d

The latter is currently top of the range, search the forum. Primary benefit is reduced turbo lag as the one turbo has its max impact at low revs, the other at high revs, not the "twin scroll" compromise in the regular 3.0d. I drive this, and it doesn't feel compromised, but the guys who have driven both certainly report it.
