There are two wastegates because the turbo has a twin scroll housing. I went with the 30R and the twin scroll design to reduce lag, and because my goal is not to make 450-500hp. The plan is to make a reliable track car, not a drag car.

Man...those pictures make my mouth water....you have got mad skills my friend....I am watching this thread with much anticipation. Is your eventual intent to put together a "kit" so to speak, so you can sell an engine swap package? The owner would source an engine, and then buy the kit from you with all the needed parts/pieces/instructions to complete the swap? I hope so, I would start looking for an engine right now....thanks for the work you are doing, and keeping us updated, it is greatly appreciated...

That's exactly it. The plan is to put together this first car and torture test it out on the race track. If revisions are needed, then I will do so, and then go into production of the parts so people will be able to buy either complete kits, or piece together whatever they want or don't want.

Careful, kcpaz, or some troll is likely to start on you for shamelessly shilling your product on this forum! 
I, for one, find this thread extremely interesting. I don't think I'd go this way when my engine goes boom. But then, it hasn't gone boom (yet)!

I'm not trying to advertise on purpose. Someone asked, and I replied. Also, as I stated earlier in this thread, if a moderator thinks I am out of line, they can contact me and I will be happy to talk to them about becoming a paid advertiser. To date, I have not posted my company's name or contact information, and there is nothing in my signature or "screen name" that is specific to my company. This was done on purpose as I did not want to get accused of advertising. I started this thread for informational purposes.
