Can you turbocharge a V8 using only one exhaust manifold...one exhaust pipe?

Although most v-8 single turbocharger applications do use only one side of the exhaust manifold for the mounting, They all are connected to the other one by means of a crossover pipe or some other means of conveyance to get the exhaust from the other side of the engine to the mounting side. Tthis allows for an even distribution of the entire exhaust flow to the turbocharger. I have heard of some early European auto manufacturers that used a divided exhaust system to split the turbo and nonturbo banks of an engine, but I know of no way to use only one bank to power a blower on any modern v-8. I am sure it could be done, But to what end? And why would you want to only use half of the engines output in the first place? I my own experience, I am using two garret turbochargers from two Toyota supras to supercharge my American v-8 but in this case each turbo is connected to one bank of cylinders and connected on the pressure side and the exhaust side to even out the pressure delivered to the engine. And this is done only after some carefull tuning to make sure that the turbos are putting out even amounts of boost individually before they are connected. Its a lot of work but my engine is making around 1200 hp and I think it is worth the bother. Hope this helped.
