Default divided t4 and spool

On a single turbo divided t4 setup to help spool. Can you take one bank to one side of the t4 flange and the other bank to the other side of the flange?

Or do you need to group certain cylinders together for best results?

Anybody have comparison results with divided to undivided?

Im not the person to take advice from on the subject...

But, it just seems like half of a t4 flange per bank could be a flow restriction and limit you on the top end.

Then again, i DO NOT know what i am talking about.

??

what is the difference between 1 bank flowing through .5X or 2 banks flowing through 1X?

i doubt there will be much of any difference on a V8 between divided or undivided, there are just too many exhaust pulses at any given time to see a real performance advantage

something like a 4 banger sees the benefits though

my hotside is divided, only reason is because it was easy to do, not really for performance
