Exclamation No Boost- duel internal wastegates

I have a 99 z28 with twin turbos, made with truck manifolds. Getting no boost. Turbos have duel internal wastegate set at 8 psi. Not sure if I have them hooked up right. Currently not using a boost contoller,since I only want to run 8psi, but I do have a manual one if I need it. Here's a diagram I did with photoshop to show how I hooked them up.

Got any bigger pics? Have you checked the manufactures support section to see how they recommend setting up the WGs?

silly question but seen it before.
