TWINS: hot side balance

Twin turbo guys

Are you running a "balance" tube or pipe on your hot sides. to equal out the pressure from one hot side to the other ? I am not asking about the turbine discharge side (exhaust not under pressure), but the turbine inlet were pressure can get high. I have twin t3/t04b setup and the only thing linking the two turbos together is the cold side pipes that meet at the intake.

I would rather not have to fab more pipeing but if there is performance gains..............

Thought about doing the same thing on my 67 project... decided it wasn't worth the room, time, or money to do it.
