Seriously? You realize that both turbos merge and feed the same pipe. It's why your intercooler only has one in and one out. Each turbo is fed by 3 cylinders, but then the air compressed by the turbos is merged before the IC and then is fed to the intake manifold. Notice that only has one inlet as well...

Single and twin have nothing to do with it and psi doesn't have that much to do with it either. It's all about flow rate. Ie, a bigger turbo can flow more air at a lower boost level than a smaller turbo. The N55 turbo is bigger than the N54 turbo so it's not a direct comparison.
