I have some pictures of RC's twins that Chris sent me. If it's okay with RC i'll post them. They're bad a--!
By the way, I'm no turbo expert but what would the external waste gate buy you if everyone is worried about pushing too much exhaust through the stock turbo? At the point when the external waste gate would activate all the exhaust is already past the stock turbo and heading into the big turbo isn't it? I may be missing something.

Etrain, From what I know...which is limited for sure...the external wastegate is on the exhaust side intake. If it activates it dumps the exhaust to the big turbo if the exhaust goes above the ideal efficiency map of the top turbo. Truck creates 60 psi boost...ext waste gate is set for 28psi. Top turbo never gets above 28psi drive pressure. The extra volume of exhaust bypasses the top turbo and goes straight to the 2nd turbo for second stage compression. Drive ratio never exceeds 1:1...turbos last for ever and spool super fast. ks

Those are some good looking twins RCCOX. We have similar taste, the chrome really sets them off.
What size of pipe is coming off your air filter, and what type of filter is it? I would like to have mine turned up like that so it would be easier to remove.
