I wonder if a single turbo set-up will work on our cars being that it has two throttle bodies. I think getting an even amount of airflow into both TB's would be tough to accomplish no? Or do you guys think it would matter?

I'm trying to think of any car with two TB's that's running a single turbo set-up but can't. They either have a single TB and single turbo/Supercharger (Porsche Turbo/Ford GT etc), or two TB's and two turbos (GTR/Lambo TT Kits etc).

^^I was thinking the same thing but everytime I ask that question, no one seems to know. But then there has been some word of Stillen and someone else working on a SC which is basically like a single turbo...right?

if the piping was the same length to each sure but it might be a pain.

the length of the piping wont matter since the intake manifold is open inside...the right cylinders and left cylinders are not closed off from each other.

The problem would be from the exhaust side. The length of the piping from the right and from the left should be of equal length for maximum efficiency. The position of the turbo must be well thought out...
