Brettus turbo 111 (the ultimate Renesis turbo ?)

For what I want to do with the car , response is more important than peak whp . I do want to get a great number at peak as well ............but I have to admit it's more for proving the concept than anything else.

Just an idea I had while reading about your interesting setup your working on...
Instead of using a WG on the Center ports, wouldn't something like a "Quick Spool" (butterfly) type valve to close those port be a better option??
Don't shoot, just a thought...

I think it may be overcomplicating it - if for some bizzare reason you have issues with spool, you can look into it

The thought in my mind is more like a combination of a exhaust cut-out and a "quick spool valve".
My thought would be have a your mid iron runner blocked with a "butter-fly" valve and actuated by an WG actuator. The valve mechanism is all metal and mechanical, so the issue of heat or over heating a WG diaphragm shouldn't be an issue. Also, in my mind, it could have better flow characteristics than a WG.
One thing I don't know is how well it would seal. If the "butter-fly" is like stainless, it might expand just a enough to prevent a leak causing exhaust to escape = loss of energy from main ports.
Hope you can imagine what I am mean. Not very good at explain things sometimes. Also this contraption would be built into the runner and run/exhaust into the main exhaust system... just put that in there just in case someone thinks I'm just saying to put a cut-out and exhaust to atmosphere...

Biggest issue so far though is space ... shoehorning everything in is a nightmare .

So here is a little more on my thought... did a little light weight research on the interwebs and saw ATPs VES
VES-ASSEMBLY - out of stock again until unknown date due to production delays : atpturbo.com
VES-MAIN-VALVE-UNIT - out of stock again until unknown date due to production delays : atpturbo.com
Looks like this would hold better to the heat,locate easier, and seal.
MS Paint ftw!!
an "inline setup".
also if place further down the runner on the down-pipe side, you have more room and shouldn't change the F&R port flow. Flow is still going to follow the least path of resistance.... my 3.5 cents.
Really looking forward to what you come up with and your data.

I understand the ATP VES is too large. I was using it as an visual example to go with my illustration.
Elaborate on why its bad on several levels?
Possible Issues: (I can think of)
Proper Seal (Tight Tolerance, shouldn't be an issue)
Carbon contamination
Fabrication
