Dual Wastegates?
Been tryin to find some info, saw a setup and piqued my curiosity.
When do you need them?
Why do you need them?
Where are the wastegates setup in the system?
Only inquiring about single turbo applications.
Did a search, but nothin came up.

When do you need them?
-When a spit scroll turbine housing is used(not 100% necessary)
Why do you need them?
-to stop overlapping exhaust events from mingling and to improve spool times
Where are the wastegates setup in the system?
-Ideally one should be on runners 1-4 and the other on 2-3...

Re: Dual Wastegates? (Foowee)
Appreciate the answer, can they be used on a standard manifold? I've heard of using one to regulate mani pressure and the other regulating boost?

So you mean putting a wg on the chargepipe?... I've heard a lot of people are doing this with race cars. Why? I haven't bothered to think about it...

its hard to control boost pressure when you run a big turbo at a low psi, the turbo overpowers the wastegate. so by adding a second one, you get more control.
