I dont know what the guys in comments are on about, but my take on it is
It appears that the scoop feeds fresh air into the turbo which then goes straight into the cylinders. The exhaust on the other hand is rather interesting.
I cant quite see, but it looks like a supercharger at the bottom that increases the pressure of the exhaust gas, which then feeds the turbo turbine. Rather simple idea and the increased benefit is in lower post engine exhaust pressure, which increases cylinder efficiency through better cylinder scavenging, but at the same time having very high pre turbo exhaust pressure, needed to create boost. Usually the heat produced by compressing air in the intake stream is a disadvantage, but in the exhaust its an advantage because it can create a bigger temperature difference across the turbo
