Btw. I did my set up the way I did just bc I’m a novice fabricator and it was easier. If I was to do it again i would merge both pipes before the flange and run a large single wastegate. Don’t get me wrong, my set up works great. I’d just do it differently next time

Yeah, I have the local emissions ***** to deal with - so I recirculated it. It is less about boost control, and more about air/exhaust flow control with gate sizing. I am sure you'll be fine.
