...If using the 4 stage, which is probably a bit of an overkill, you can use 1 stage for engine oil pressuse, 1 to scavenge the sump, and 1 to scavenge each rocker box.
lots of ways to do it, i suppose...
i think i'd use one pair of stages to scavenge the sump and pressurise the mains, and another pair to pressurise and scavenge the turbo. having to mount the turbo high enough to depend on a gravity drainback is a major packaging PITA.
you wouldn't need a separate stage to pressurise the turbo, of course - the main oil gallery will provide all you'd ever need. in which case, i'd use a single pressure stage for everything, one to scavenge the turbo, and two (right and left, probably) to scavenge the case.
per 911, output from the scavenge pumps goes to the filter and then cooler, returning to the tank; pressure pump draws from oil tank.
