I posted this in another section but it looks like it's been overlooked. So i thought i'd ask here.
I wanted to know that if its almost a requirement to take off all the piping on top of the turbos to get to the rear actuator?
Because i tried reaching it, i even tried to get my girlfriend to try it and she's got absolutely tiny hands and she said she wouldn't be able to work much on it in that space.
Also, just wanted to confirm something. I'm planning to set up my boost controller which is a TurboXS manual dual-stage pretty much exactly the way shown below
One other thing, i spoke to a friend who mods cars for a part time-living at home at the way he told me to do it is very similar manner to how i'm planning to do it, but he said that you wouldn't need to get the compression outlet from both turbos.
Which is the same as this guide provided by Turbosmart, which i've drawn over.
And i've read many times that it's better to get it (pressure source) from the hose the goes to the vsv from the throttle body?
So what's the difference between sourcing it from one turbo or both, or blocking off both and getting it from that hose i just mentioned?

its a little hard for me to say, because i have a single turbo, but that looks pretty right to me. probably the easiest way is to just take the vac line comming from the compressor and get an inline joiner and add some more vac line to it, rather than taking it off the wastegate, which from what you say is quite hard to get to.

ive got mine the same as the top diagram and havent had any problems. but thats just with a simple single stage bleed valve. as for the space to work in, i did mine with the pipes on but it probally would be easier with the pipes off, just need to be very patient.
Yeah my greddy unit is wired in as top. First time i did it, rear pipes off, then had turbos rebuilt. Gave it a few km before i put the boost controller on again, this time i managed to get it on no pipe removal, and cable tied. takes its time though.

i didnt have to take off any pipes, i got to both actuators and both turbos as shown in the top diagrams. i hooked up a vacuum line between the turbos, and a seperate line for the actuators, then T piece in both leading to controller. works good
