Default anybody experienced with twin wastegate setups?

Hey i have seen it done on the lancer EVO8:
(not sure who did that but it's nice work)

i am sure it can be done on other engines too!

Anybody experienced in doing this??
I know regrouping cly 1&4 and 2&3 together can reduce lag but by how much??

if you got a split flange then you can do that but on a 4-1 collector just get 1 big one

On a 4 into 1 I've been told they pulse and fight each other. Split it would work.

like said before thats an AMS product its rediculously nice, as for having twin gates you need to have a split scroll/split inlet turbo as well as a split collector for it to be anything worthwhile, but if done correctly you can pick up a pretty good chunk of powerband (400+ rpm). Also you will need to run a t4 exhaust side because i only know of a select few t3 hot sides that use the split scroll design...
