They most likely meant "Twin Scroll Turbo"

I was thinking they read "TwinPower" somewhere in the marketing literature and just didn't know their stuff like half of the so-called auto journalists out there.

Yeap, makes sense. I once had to thoroughly educate a co-worker who had an X5-50i that he indeed truly had 2 physical turbo's. He was convinced that BMW got sued and it only had one. But yes, to the common folk, it could be confusing...to the enthusiast, just give us more boost.
Regardless, B58 in the new Z4 could be a ton of fun.
