Haven't we ALL heard this
Not to sure on this...but I have a Jspec upper manifold and there are just three vac ports on the back.
Also, don't forget about the turbo oil inlet line.

The Twin scroll is controlled by a solenoid in the vac rack...
2 possible solutions:
1. Wire it open. Advantages? Its open. Disadvantages? Go get lunch while you wait for your turbo to spool.
2. Run it to a vac source after the compressor. MIGHT still work as advertised..

You need the check valve if you want the twin-scroll to work. Any suitably sized check valve will work, and these are fairly common items in older cars that needed a lot of emissions gear. A trip to a wrecker will get you a handful of suitable check valves.

just to let anyone know and not saying it will be the same on your car and not wanting someone to jump down my throat *cough*cough*NZConvertable*cough*cough* I took my twin scroll out and didn't notice any great effect in the way my turbo spooled up. Maybe about 1 to 200 rpm later, to me no bigy but to someone else it may be too much.

I'm planning on removing it too, but I'll try to pick up a S5 manifold instead ( they didn't have twin scroll right? )
if you remove your twin scroll actuator, you should port the turbo' s runners while your down there...
I'm planning to remove this system simply for simplicity, I'm sick of seeing all those vacuum hoses everywhere!

If the twin scroll actuator is not connected to the solenoid, the actuator goes to a spring loaded open position.
Or another way of saying it.....no vacuum to the actuator means the twin scroll flap will go to the full open position. That is where it is on a fully functional system when the rpms are over 2800 rpm.
The turbo manifold has two passages to the compressor wheel. Below 2800 rpm the FLAP operated by the twin scroll actuator blocks one of the two passages causing a higher velocity thru the remaining passagae to the compressor wheel which in turn gives you quicker boost. Something like that.
Bottom line: If you want to see the effect of having/not having a twin scroll actuator, then just disconnect the vacuum line to the actuator and drive the car. The FLAP will be spring loaded to the wide open position, much like it not being there.

Reading through the Yamaguchi book...without the twin-scroll system, turbo would have been able to achieve only 160-165 bhp safely, otherwise increasing boost leads to detonation.

I haven't got the book at hand to confirm, but I think you've misunderstood that comment slightly. Mazda obviously had both power and response goals, and with the turbo technology available at the time were not able to meet both. A smaller turbo (faster response) would only make 160-165hp at the desired max boost, needing more boost to meet the power target and risk detonation. A bigger turbo (more power) would be too laggy. The answer was to incorperate a system to make the big turbo less laggy, hence the twin-scroll system.

Well like I said, before I removed it my turbo would spool 200rpm sooner and I did test it per the fsm manual and it worked perfectly. Before I knew how to test it I bought a new silenoid, check valve and rerouted my vac line to make sure it was getting good vacuum and it was all working fine.

NP: I just want everyone to know aquarium stuff works! Sometimes it's better stuff
Like the vac Ts are 70 cents or so at Wal~Mart aquariums and $3 at advanced auto for some that arent as good.
I wouldnt reccomend using aquarium tubing (Though its ultra cheep) because it is weaker then the vac tubing and sensitive to heat. (Though you CAN use it)
