The only thing I was ever concerned with as far as routing WG back into the exhaust was that it was MUCH quieter than not plumbing it HAHA. I didn't realize there was a science to that as well lol. I kinda regret that I won't be doing it still with this setup, because I'm trying to get quieter, but it's kind of a PITA with my current setup trying to line the WG up to both flanges and get them tightened down. I can only imagine the mess from TWO wastegates.

Yeah it's the same kind of turbo, just much smaller than theirs lol. I checked out that car quite a bit when I was deciding if I should get it or not.

One of the classic examples of a horse cock manifold is to look up the old TWINS TURBO converted Red Time Attack FD3S, running massive horse cock exhaust manifold with BW turbo and PENI GROW on steroids 5" dump pipe! and 4" exhaust !!!! you can actually see video of it doing ~480rwhp on the interwebz on a dynapack machine when set to ~20psi boost pressure. The amount of fab work and shit on that engine bay set up is homo in the extreme for very little return in performance.
You can see at least two other examples of short manifold cars running same or less boost and dyno'd on the exact same dyno types returning more power and with the same power band if not actually better. All around 500rwhubhp @ 1.3 bar boost pressure.

Alright, I'm definitely doing as short of runners as possible then. I was searching for a pic of the HKS manifold you're using and I came across the pic attached. I'm shooting for something similar to that I think, but with a WG flange off each runner. Now my concern is whether the oil will drain out being that low, since it probably won't be directly above the oil drain on the engine anyway. I have to find a way around this.
