What are the pros and cons with a single turbo setup (like this BP kit) vs. a twin turbo (like FI kit). I know in the past single turbos were notorious for turbo lag, is this as much the case anymore?

Ok. I feel like a moron. Maybe because I punched myself in the face last night after slipping off a wrench for a final tighten down of everything. But I cant figure out how to hook up my wastegates with a manual boost controller.

The two bottom barbs T together and go to the drivers side intake pipe nipple.

The two top barbs T together and go to the intake of the boost controller.

So where does the out of the boost controller go?

Tee off the charge pipe line that you are running to the bottom of the waste gates. I would recommend pretty close to the original intake pipe takeoff.

You could also tap the charge pipe for an additional barb if you want a new pressure source.

PM me your cell number and I'll shoot you a sketch of how I'm going to plumb mine. It's for a EBC but there is no difference between the manual and solenoid valve in the plumbing configuration with my Profec.

I know! But then I read the hallman install pdf and it had a diagram that said to never hook up anything to the upper ports and they should always vent to atmosphere. So again I was confused. I didn't want to bother you again so I just left it for tonight.

Great diagram though. It just contradicts hallmans website.

Here is the result from the last customer (couple of days ago) that dynoed wit this kit....10psi and 400ft/tq at the wheels at 3,500 wouldn't be considered as "lag" in my books:
