You are oversimplifying.
You are over complicating

A tial 38mm or a tial 44mm is more than enough for just about anybody not trying to set records or running more than 5 psi peak boost on any t3 frame turbo, that's all i was saying.

i know that one of the old cummis engine had only one wg, only on one dvider, but is it good for egine ? i don't think so
Good question.

I'm sure Ted B can comment on his setup. You will prob lose a little power when the gate opens as the scrolls can bleed over into each other, but it will depend on how long the wastegate pipe is etc...
I guess that I should have taken into account the twin scroll concept but obviously...I didn't. Dual gates on a divided manifold would have to be set to open at the same PSI. I agree with Mike. He is correct.

TedB, how do you have it setup so it doesn't isolate half the valve but still keeps them divided?

The divider stops just short of the WG valve face. This is a necessity anyway, or you risk the WG cracking open from the divider enlarging due to thermal expansion. This does not measurably impact the TS effect. When the WG valve opens, each side sees the full WG valve area, because as the valve lifts off its seat, it creates a space between the divider and the valve face. The further the valve is opened, the greater that space becomes. Most of the full potential of the valve flow is realized early in its travel, but it's enough to give more or less full access to both sides.

Gotcha, how much distance between the divider and the valve face when it is closed are you talking?

if i remember corectly, valve on the WG isn't flat, right? that divider must be in shape of the valve?

The divider was carefully fabricated to fit.

I built a single gate ts manifold for a car awhile back, this was before Tial MVS's came out. Ran it for awhile on a time attack car. Decided to build a new one, same placement an very similar runner configuration, except flanged for (2) 38mvs's.


not sure if it means anything, was just an interesting comparision...and yes there was a divider all the way to valve.

both my W/G's have 22 or 24 ''i forget'' PSI springs in them. i would like a minimum of 28 but i do not think they make springs that stiff.
Sure they do dan..

very nice comparision !
solid line is for 2 WG - right ?

I wouldn't read anything into it. I'm aware of another such test where the results were the opposite.

just make sure that the divider is solid and well welded, seen an example where the back pressure differences have shaken it loose and it ended up in the turbo. needless to say that the turbo at full speed didn't like it much.
ouch1

ouch2

anyways the v2 has held up just fine so far, for the tial wg you need to make the divider stick out a bit since the valve is not flush with the vband (obviously)
works fine

if you are using EBC there should be no difference in the spool with 1 or 2 wgs, like stated previously in this post, the flow is the only difference.

Ouch, don't let that happen.


If you scroll down to "T3 EVO Twin Scroll Manifold" here in the galleries section, you can see Drifto's (Morgan Performance Fabrication) divider work:

Here's a nice photo of the twinscroll turbo w/single WG setup (at left) on BMW's 1.5L 1300bhp F1 engine:
