Sup fellas, currently mocking up the turbo manifold with twin Turbosmart gen v 40s .
this is the diagram I’ve seen on here,
#1
But can I run mines from Wastegate to Wastegate instead of using T’s for vacuum and pressure .as they both seem to open when I give air.
heres what I got hooked up .
I have the last port on the other end blocked off . Let me know if this is correct Thankyou
So instead of running a T you want to daisy chain them together..... I guess in theory this would work and if you provide air to one and see that it makes it to the other then in practice it would work as well. Test it out and see what result you get. Worst case it doesn't actually work and then you just follow the diagram instead. Just make sure your overboost protection is set up just in case.

correct daisy chain is the correct word , they start to crack open @ 14 psi with air supplied (14lbs spring ) ,but like u said in theory and practice it works I’m not sure how it’ll react when it’s all said and done lol. This type of Wastegate is new to me . I’m use to just having 2 ports 1 vacuum and 1 pressure . This gate has 6 lol
2 for coolant.

I would run straight across between the two WG and then put the tee directly to the middle of both. This would guarantee equal response on both WG, but admittedly am not entirely sure it would matter. It’s more of a logical reason, but the real world difference might be too small to matter.
The diagram is easier to show for illustration purposes with it all snaking around though
Follow the instructions exactly, at least at first. You can always make adjustments later. It's like cooking with a new recipe: follow it first, because if it tastes nasty you don't know if your modifications were the problem or not.
If you're having trouble controlling boost or tuning the controller, you'll never know if your hose setup is the cause or not. External wastegates operate based on the pressure difference on the top and lower diaphragm, and the spring preload. The 3 port boost solenoid regulates pressure to the top chamber and the actual controller cycles that solenoid. There are a lot of pneumatic considerations here.
the way I suggested it is following the directions/layout, just putting the tee connections at the shortest, yet equal distances between the two WGs.
