wastegate on only one bank?
wastegate on only one bank? I have seen a few turbo kits like this, such as log manifold kits, where there is only one wastegate located on the crossover pipe, so it can only dump exhaust gasses from one bank. is this ok? im thinking of doing mine this way, with like a 50mm gate. would this kind of a setup still regulate boost efficiently? obviously the single gate would have great placement, a straight shot off of a 90 degree turn.
depends on alot of things but most of the time works very well for medium boost.
ive done some pretty terrible things with a hotside and had a single china 60 on the car and i could boost from 3-30 no problem

haha ok, thanks denmah. ive been reading up on it and some people say it can cause problems because one bank is seeing much more back pressure than the other, not sure weather this is true or not. it would just be much easier for me to run one gate on the driver side only, any imput is appreciated.
if I really really try I may be able to get 2 gates in there, space is just tight with how I want to place the turbo. just wanting a fun street truck (s10) that I can take to the track, hoping for 750ish at the tire. something like one of your builds denmah lol

Vht, yes you can, if you have an "open' merge before the divided scroll inlet. Essentially you are now tied into both banks now.
To the op, you are brilliant in the way you asked this question. I asked it wrong a few months ago and didn't get near the constructive feed back, if you decide to try this post back!
