Terrible design for a turbo set up, the STS would be leaps and bounds better even though the STS still has many flaws

Still unique though

(1) The pipe that feeds into the muffler should be placed directly into the turbo flange for best spooling ability. Since it just flows into the muffler, that would mean the hot air wouldn't be flowing directly into the turbo.

(2) the downpipe goes right back into the muffler which in turn is where the exhaust that drives the turbo is at.

(3) The wastegate is also plumbed into the same muffler.

So somehow with all of this plumbing, the turbo(s) is some how supposed to spool up? How?
