A regular ol' Turbonetics cast manifold for the GTE and a CT-26 would mate up just fine. The stock GTE manifold is the primary problem when the question of "Why won't a CT-26 directly bolt up". Other than custom fabricating a downpipe, oil lines and all the other necessary fittings... there's nothing really wrong with doing something like that, but then again... why? 
The stock twins are just as capable as any hybrid 26 (50 trim, 60 trim, etc...). A single CT-26's advantage over the stock twins would be reliability, but most importantly - cost effecient. You can find one of those little puppies just about anywhere. Then again... by the time you've completed your little ol' single CT-26 setup on the MKIV - you've spent enough money to purchase one of the relatively cheap single turbo kits already available for the GTE.
Yeah, it's possible, but why? Seriously.
