Yes that can be done, get the book Maximum Boost by corkey bell and you can read about the cons of that design, or use the search button. But it will work.
I would recomend making a cross over pipe that uses OEM manifolds and brings all the exhaust gas forward to a turbo.

You can't run just one bank..
Websearch doesnt reveal much on it, but seems to be circa 2001, Saab 9-5 3.0 V6
Quote taken from this website. ( seems to be some dodgy pop-ups when you go there )

"1995
Saab announces the world's first asymmetrically-turbocharged engine. The turbo is fitted only to the front cylinder bank of a transversely-installed 3.0-liter V6, but delivers its charge to both. The light-pressure turbocharger is extremely small and integrated in the exhaust manifold for efficient packaging. It delivers 30 per cent more torque, which allows high gearing for reduced fuel consumption together with impressive pulling power."

But depending on camshaft, and boost pressure etc used, differences may not be substantial at all, which is what I suspect is the case with the Saab engine.
In the very same way the STS turbo system is quite flawed and far from ideal, so would using only 1 bank to spool the turbo...
Doesnt mean it wont work to a degree.
