Funny how all these UK people suddently start posting from nowhere and post for NO other reason to try and slate me because I dare to ask tech questions rather than follow blindly like a sheep, lol, sad sad people, and messed this thread up nicely at the same time

The question was 1 wastegate or 2, me and pretty much everyone said two, for good and logical reasons.
The other question was 1 or 2 BOVs, and thats a subjective thing, as everyone said.
Its not a rotary question, its a turbo one, turbos on rotarys in essence are no different in their BOV or WG needs, and nothing I suggested is any different from the rest of the advice And the reason? Because it was correct.
So give it a rest please as its pathetic, this forums pretty good for keeping away from personal crap like UK forums are ruined by, until now.

To slag a complete stranger off with personal insults to their face for no reason? If you always do that do you? Right-o

You thought it was a good thread to ruin, lol, did you even read it? It was a non-tech pathetic arguing thread, someone said on about page 30 about a 'whos got the biggest **** competition' (thats how pathetic the thread was), so I stepped up to the plate. Totally shut them up till the pics were removed, and got messages from the forum owners thinking it was hillarious for actually doing it

You didn't ask tech questions. You began spouting your own beliefs as gospel, and then got arsey when Blitz questioned YOU. I think this thread went downhill when you clicked "Post Reply".

I've been here over a year. Just because I don't post much and tend to only read this board doesn't mean I'm prohibited from passing comment where I feel it's due.

Car forums owners in my experience don't take kindly to people posting graphic images, it's usually mentioned in the T&Cs when you sign up - this leads me to be somewhat dubious of you being congratulated on the merits of that post.

Wow.. I missed all the action.. lol..

I would definitely use twin gates.. I've found that the twin gates definitely controls boost better.
With the PP turbo you'll see big boost response and power at around 8000~8500. If you don't regulate boost properly it's going to hard to handle. Rev's will go to over 10k instantly and boost will follow if not controlled...

I'd be willing to be that fairly soon with the development of more sophisticated VGT equipped turbos we'll start shying away from wastegates again.

From the experiences I've read, the problem with them is they can't handle the heat from rotaries. Until they come out with more reliable designs that can take high heat and abuse, we'll be sticking with the standard turbine. Not to say it won't happen, but again, it's something that seems very prone to failing, especially in our world.
