You can certainly retain a twin turbo setup, ultimately that will probably be ideal for spool purposes. The tuning can also get a bit screwy when you merge the two exhaust banks into one for a single conversion, o2 sensor placement becomes tricky and i'm still not quite convinced that there isn't some funky long-term trim behavior as a result. Everything needs to move pre-turbo where the exhaust gasses are still split.
