Jamie, Where are you mounting the single turbo?
Might be able to keep similar flow rates if the pipe from the right bank was smaller, and therefore getting to the turbo at around the same speed? (instead of equal length pipe, equal volume, but different length)
I don't think I could afford the turbo & manifold cost though.

You can get away with different lengths if you make the pipes total volumes the same (what I was told by a reputable workshop) Some guys don't even bother about that though  I was going to run the manifold closest to the turbo down (like std headers) and then back under to meet the other bank near the front of the sump/crossmember, then a big single pipe up to the turbo, mounted where the battery used to be. Do you know a mate who can weld??? Get some pipe and buy some bends total cost of maybe a few hundred bucks!!! park the car and start hacksawing and grinding, not that hard, then get it all welded. TA45 heaps cheaper than HKS too, I got quoted $2k brand new.. Hope this helps.
