    I run 2 precision 46mm w/g on my 347 with a BW S476. 2 w/g will give you better boost control on a larger c.i size motor like yours and help try to control back pressure some at WOT.

    That's called a tangential housing. You don't need 2 wastegates because of it. That's not to say you can't use (or don't need) two...
