on-center is basically the worst for flow... it comes in towards the center of the housing and makes a sharp turn going towards the wheel... tangental divided is for generally manifold designs in which certain runners will go into each side of the turbo... if u do the math correctly and figure it out... it will spool up a bit quicker... tangental undivided is basically an open hole... a big one... as far as i remember it was slightly better for top-end... but dont quote me on that

Tangential undivided is the way to go for big power. I think the divided housing was originally designed for big diesel trucks that needed power at a very low rpm.

but the problem is the size of the turbo's some of the pro guys are using... hence why many actually decide to go with the divided housings
