There will be larger pressure in front of the wastegate in the turbine house, then the boost (vacuum), which comes from the acuator and try to stay close the WG. Anyway, at the end we can clearly see how it works, maybe we are on the wrong PATH. The two Garrett speed display gives us important feedback regarding the speed of the wheelsas well.

I take it then that you're contemplating sequential turbos, unlike the stock set-up where each turbo serves a bank of 3 cylinders.

Is this correct?
