glenrx7, bad *** build man, e85 is my goal here soon, anyway though, are the twin external waste-gates really necessary, why not just one? Why are you choosing to do two? What are the benefits, just curious my man, can't wait to see final results
1. create a true divided runner setup. I am running a divided turbine housing so the runners are individual running a gate per runner and not actually merging until the collect into the turbine housings.
2. combat wastegate latanecy. Having a gate per runner alows for better and quicker responce. Simply taking less time to stop the turbo from boost more than the controller will be set at.
3. Flow, hopefully this is going to keep the flow more laminar.
4. more boost, with running e85 one of the benifits is you can run a higher combustion pressure meaning more boost. I dont want to have one giant gate set to 1.7 bar . In my expirence it is better to have two smaller gates that can run less sring but not loose controll due to high pressure.
5. It looks freakin cool:0)
There is alot more method to my madness, however alot is theory, once this is running and tuned we will have alot of infomation. I have built both single setups and dual and so far the duals have out preformed the singles leading me to believ the above staments...Hope this helps
Hey Glen, Richard here in Kansas. I am not on this site much these days but came across your thread the other night. All I can say is I am SOOO jealous. This might just be the perfect setup! I hope you will keep this thread going as you work through getting her fired up and turned. Good to see some of your work. By the way, is that you pictured assembling your engine? I always had you pictured looking more like Charlton Hesston parting the Red Sea in the Ten Commandments (LOL).
If this goes as you expect I may follow suit, add two more injectors, and go E85 as well. I have not installed the Yaw injectors yet; still need some info on settings for the PFC. Anyway it looks fantastic! Hope it comes together exactly as you plan. RD

Well good new and bad news....
The car ran thanks To Aaron and Paul Aaron did an awsome job in two ways..
One he got the map richened up so the car would run and put out the fire that melted the bins due to a loose connection..... We were burning the mid night oil for three weeks straight once the car was done we forgot to tighten the main power cable and it meted the bins until it hit metal starting the car on fire, thanks to Aaron we were able to get it under control the loss is minimal so the car is fine.
I am pretty sure the car will be in a future issue of modified though. It was at UMS for the second day of dyno events for the Modifed Magazine shoot out
Once I get pictures I will post them up
