For now, I am going to say that it does NOT matter if the wastegate hoses leading to the MBC are the same length or not. As long as there is a common hose to both wastegates, I can splice the MBC into that common wastegate hose anywhere along its length. The two turbos are not going to be able to tell the difference between a one foot or six foot piece of wastegate vacuum hose during turbo spool up. The hoses will be in a "steady state" pressure when the first few hundreths of a sec during spool up, well before peak boost is reached. The only real issue would be the compliance of the different tubing lengths, and I still say that won't matter at the short distances under discussion here.
Also, I say that the boost source hose coming from the MBC does NOT have to be split and T'd back into the engine at two separate connections, that a single hose connection from the MBC back to a boost source would be fine, even with a twin turbo. Why do I care? For a cleaner and easier installation. If I am wrong, please tell me WHY so I can learn something.
