Why can't we do a downpipe turbo instead like this?

This was for a Ford Probe GT (2.5L V6) and it ran 14's on the 1/4 mile at 5 psi on a stock exhaust manifold with this downpipe turbo piping. I saw this at Ludespeedperformance.com.
If this is so, why is everyone having a headache about making turbo manifolds for our cars? I don't know much about turbos so bare with me. But, wouldn't this kind of setup with the stock A20A3 cast iron manifold with the turbo located at the battery location be a space convenient idea? I've seen drag cars use downpipe turbos as secondary turbos to eliminate top mid range lag and the manifold turbos as primary turbos for a dual turbo setup. So for all you turbo gurus out there, help me out.
