Default TT intercooler single inlet?

My plan is to push 20 -22 PSI through my twin BW S359's. The intercooler is a Treadstone TRV259-S which is a single inlet, single outlet. I've seen others merge twin cold side pipes into a single inlet intercooler, but I'm just wondering if doing so will pose a restriction at all, compared to a dual inlet intercooler?

the dual inlet is just for simplicity of routing the cold side pipes. mergeing the pipes in intercooler vs in pipes id think the 2 into 1 pipe is just as good or better as long as the transition is smooth(like a Y,not a T for example) and the outlet pipe flows equal or greater cfm then the 2 inlet pipes

I ran a merge pipe on my old twin MP70 kit. Worked great. Enough power to put a hurting on some 650hp cobras in my 5000lb brick.

ok this makes me feel a lot better. ill have two 2.5" merge into a nice gradual Y that's 3"" into the intercooler. Then 3" out to the TB.
