to twin scroll or not to twin scroll. T3 housing comparison

Im re-doing my 35r turbo setup at the moment, i had this 0.82 TS housing laying around that was meant to be for a GT30r but never got round to fitting it. While i had everything in bits on the garage floor i decided to see how the TS housing would fit on the 35r. Obviously it shouldnt fit and i got a bit of a shock when it slid straight over the 35r turbine wheel They must have sent me the wrong one, i dodnt even know there is a 0.82 housing available for the 35r, only .78 and the hard to get 1.01?

Im going to be making a new manifold anyway so this got me thinking i could do a twin scroll manifold and use this housing. My concern is it might be too small and surge like a **** and die up top. The volute part that feeds the turbine wheel looks very small and to me looks alot more restrictive than the undivided 0.82 T3. I guess i could try it and if its crap try and get the 1.01 but these are pretty hard to get, especially in Australia.

I noticed you said you were making a manifold anyway. I assume you will fabricate it yourself? If so, why not make a twin scroll and see how it works with that housing. If you don't like it then go back to the single scroll. But I will say based on what I've read from Evodans thread it will probably do exactly what you are expecting.

I wouldn't recommend a TS, you get no top end. Your better off getting a HTA turbo.

No, I was being sarcastic because most are aware that you have a FR 35r kit and patiently waiting on your results. But I see now he was also being sarcastic so my post was all for nothing.

No im not making it myself, so i need to make a good decision as i wont be able to go back to single scroll.

To me the TS footprint looks smaller than regular T3, I dont want to end up with no top end because of a restrictive housing.

Think im just going to do a normal 4-1 with the regular 0.82.

Could be, I probably have to get it checked out, somewhere at 9800 rpm.
