To wastegate... Or not to wastegate!
That is the question
Im setting up twins on my 96, just wondering what you guys normally do with twins. Its going to be a s475 on a 35/40. Not sure if I should leave the gate on the small charager, add one between the two............
Any insight would be great.

I would suggest the WG charger , IT WILL help with spool, seen the difference Too manny times ....
K31 in a S60 .. bus lagged w/o WG turbo .. installed a new one same day .. drove it out of the shop and made it 2 miles , Driver had a big grin .. MUCH BETTER ....
And in a Compund set up .. your gonna want the small charger to get movin as fast as possible off the line ...

In reality if the turbos have the same exhaust housing, then they should spool at the same speed. A waste gate will bleed any excess boost and could harm spool up if it is sticking open and bleeding boost or if it is creeping. A non gated turbo is really only a big issue if you are not set up to handle the potential boost it will create. At that point you need to count on pedal control to make sure you are not over boosting. Having said that, I cannot ever recall anyone running a non gated turbo as the feed unit in a set of twins so I would likely run either a gated unit or an aftermarket external gate.
