Although I've yet to see a 911/930 run a divided/twin scroll and the results, it has to help. So, yes!

Here's an example of a divided 930 manifold suitable for a divided inlet turbine housing.

First, it is very easy to add a divider - I did on mine. So, I'd would buy the twin scroll housing and add the divider.

Second, that picture is NOT a divided flange. It is too thin-walled to survive the heat/stress. It is simply where the two secondary tubes were mated. Also, the supposed divider (which it is not) doesn't meet up flush with the flange. The energy would simply bypass back and forth and make probably next to no benefit.

Not trying to be pompous, just do not want people buying headers like that, putting on a twin-scroll turbo, and getting 0 benefit!
