I've got the same engine im putting in my 00 RS and im converting it to single turbo. all you need is a wrx exhaust manifold, up-pipe and then a wrx exhaust.
there's more to it but i havent got that far yet. im still trying to figure out where to run oil feed and drain lines from.....wouldnt it be nice to have a chilton's for something like this??? lol... let me know if you make any progress.

if you have a full single turbo ej20 to compare with it, its easy. put them side to side and swap all the parts from the single setup over to the twin. all turbo related fittings on the right head, plug all hte left with the single turbo head plugs and block off the 1 you cant with a plug.

then you are done. put the single turbo exhaust manifold and intake manifold and turbo setup on with wiringharness and such.

easy frekin pie. im suprised you havnt figured it out with them both at your place
