Default dual wastegates

hello guys. I understand i dont own a honda but i have seen alot of very smart people on here with some very nice setups and i though you guys could help me out alittle.I have a 1994 ford probe that we put a ebay turbo kit on and a 6062 70trim turbo. i have a singal 38mm turbo smart ultra gate.we are having iusses with the car boost spikin over 6000rpms.i dont have the money to go to a 60mm wastegate so i have ordered another 38mm ultra gate.i want to run making dual wastegates.this is the point where i need help.I understand that the wastegate need to be in the exhuast pipe before the turbo. I want to know if i can place my two wastegates in line with each other so its one before the other or if i need to run one for each exhaust bank. Im just looking to keep my boost in cheak at high rpms thanks

a pic of the setup might help describe what you are trying to get at. if they are inline on the tube coming off the manifold that would not work very well. if they are inline directly off the manifold that might work fine. post a pic though.

So your manifold has no collector?

Looks like your WG comes right off the pipe in the last pic, just put the 2nd on the other side of where the 1st on is, it looks like the first one has priority flow so you should be good with one on the other side.

You want to run it with the direction of the flow of gases, right at the bottom of the bend where it starts to go vertical, going against the flow or creating a sharp bend will not give you the best possible path for the gas to get out the wastegate, and will cause boost creep that will only get worse with RPM.
