Default WG piping question

What size should I use? 346, 2.5" hot pipes, tc78, JGS 40mm

My current setup is wrong, I have the WG on the end of a tube that goes toward the flow of exhaust, not away like it is supposed to be. I think I also might have to up the size of the tube as I was seeing a little boost creep. Thanks!

Do you have a pic of how it is? The exhaust should flow freely into the WG.

FWIW, I am going to be running a JGS 50.

Thats horrible....Either Y it on on where it bends up towards the collector so it draws from both sides or on your left tube shooting up at an angle.

This sounds like the best idea to me. Didn't research wg mounting enough when I built it :/ Should I go down to a smaller size since there will be two?

What about having it come straight off like so? I've seen this done before.

So compared to this one:

having it come straight off should be better right?

There is nothing wrong with the TUBE location where you have it now. I would have shortened up the length of the pipe though, especially with a smaller gate like the 40mm.

Kinda hard to see since I started putting everything back together, but it angles up pretty good, decent amount of clearance from the radiator. Also much much shorter tube. Just need to make a flange and the dump tube. Thanks for the help guys.
