single turbo conversion vr4

Do you have any pics of your car?
As far as single turbos go, Stealthee is absolutely right. You won't make any power with a small single. There will be FAR too much back pressure there.
You NEED to go with a larger turbo to go single otherwise it simply won't work.

PS- technically speaking the right side is the rear, and the left side is the front. hehe

ok I dont know very much about turbos but,
If there's twice the exuaghst pressure to one turbo,
wouldn't the turbo spin
faster? meaning I wouldn't need such a big turbo?

A small A/R (Area/Radius) causes the exhaust flow to enter the turbine wheel more tangentially, which reduces the ultimate flow capacity of the turbine wheel. This will tend to increase exhaust backpressure and reduce the engine's ability to "breathe" effectively at high RPM, adversely affecting peak engine power.

In your case, it is an extreme. Using a tiny A/R fed by all 6 cylinders' exhaust. Not ideal to say the least. Will it spool up faster? yes. But it will choke itself out just as quick.

Do what you want man, It's your car. You have been given the info you need, and you will use it how you see fit. It seems to me though, that you "should" educate yourself on turbos and choosing turbos prior to taking on a project like this.
Good luck

WTF I posted this morning in response to his last post and its gone. Its like the server ate it.

Oh well, Steve's response covers it.
