Do you have to have a divided flange to run a spool valve?

yes you must have a twin scroll hot housing, the spool valve forces all of the exhaust through one of the scrolls till the valve opens, this gives the exhaust gasses half the space to go thorough the turbo which drives the velocity up. more gas velocity= higher turbo speed= boost

We are in the final steps of our own, and they should come in around 100$ cheaper than the closest competitor
