I wonder if this could be accomplished using a simple "gate". In other words, every time a cylinder fires, it switches the gate to the other scroll.

lol, I suck. I'm not sure that illustration helps at all.
No no, i get the idea... actually I also thought of it myself! If it is even necessary, and can result in an actual measurable and "worthwhile" increase in performance then it is possible that they "might" try something like this. The adjustable vanes used in variable geometry turbos, are electro-hydraulically controlled by the computer with oil pressure control valves. Almost Anything is possible, its just a matter of their engineers designing a system that can be "cost effectively" produced! Again... with a substantial performance advantage!
