Twin turbo set up
So I got a set of twins I have them installed... But I wanna make sure I have them set up right. Cuz I ve been told multiple different ways So I got my small turbo on top and big turbo on the bottom the exhaust hooks up the big turbo. How is the piping supposed to be for compounds? Do I hook intercooler pipe to small? And I am just confused I added the best photo I have

Exhaust from engine manifold enters small (secondary) charger first, then to the larger turbo (primary). Fresh air is pulled through the primary, compressed into the secondary, further compressed by the secondary into your intercooler setup.
Also, hard to tell by the picture but make sure your oil drain is as close to "6" o'clock as possible. As in, not sideways. This applies to both chargers.

Very possible...what is your setup? Type of turbos and fueling, what year truck maybe, 12v/24v...
What type of air filter are you running?
Have you checked drive pressure?
You probably want your wastegate to start opening around 30psi, assuming it bypasses exhaust around your secondary into the hot pipe.

Drive pressure...drill and tap exhaust manifold just like for pyro, then run a few feet of steel/copper line before you hit a pressure gauge. 1:1 ratio is the goal so I read.
Not a bad idea to test pressure between turbos to see what is doing all the work also.
You definitely will need a wastegate, secondary housing will not flow any more just because there is another turbo down stream. Most efficient way is to dump the gated exhaust into the hot pipe, feeding your large charger, you don't want it heading to atmosphere or exhaust pipe (waste.)
Sounds like you have enough fuel, experiment with the wastegate with shop air, try to get it to open around 25-30 psi and see what happens. Definitely don't want any leaks either...
