Single VS Dual Wastegate setup opinions
Hi Everyone
I am experiencing some boost creep with my current setup.
It holds 7 psi until 7000rpm and then it creeps to 19psi over 7000rpm.
I am running pump gas so do not want to boost more than 14psi on 95 Octane.
I currently have a cheap chinese manifold on the car and the wastegate priority is incorrect.
I am going to get a custom manifold built soon to correct all of this.
Do you guys prefer 2x wastegates over 1 wastegate?
I am thinking of running a single 45mm/50mm wastegate and welding it on to the exhaust housing for optimum boost control.

I will be putting in a GT35r from Rx7store. Bought the car with that turbo. Oil seals were shot so got a new core, want to get a bigger exhaust housing put on it and then run that turbo. Currently got a gtx45 with 1.58 AR rear housing. Way too much turbo for my application

External waste gates are a nightmare and I can't imagine having 2.
You may be too deep to change gears, but the internal wastegated B-W 8374's are total winners.

Well no.... the reason you have the control you have is because of the combination of parts you have there. Switch to a single 40mm gate with a 15psi spring on the same manifold with a gt40 and see how difficult it is to control boost.
We don't have all the information we need to determine the issue but im willing to bet just the same its a combination of the things he's using. His massive turbo and likely small wastegate in addition to whatever he's using or not using for boost control is whats causing such an issue with his boost. Just going with an appropriately sized turbo would likely fix his boost problem entirely.

100% correct. There is not much you can do with that manifold. No offense but it's garbage. If you are using a twin scroll turbo, a high quality dual gate manifold is going to work great and have way better control then a single gate manifold even if it is actually designed well.
