It will not be able to handle the exhaust, that's why I'm using a 38mm external gate and ported the crap out of the factory internal gate. Gotta order a boost can for the internal gate that's dual port though.
Intake will be fine, this is a traditional compound setup regarding design and routing of pipes (except my big turbo is in the back, would never fit in engine bay) and they work fine for those setups.

Fundamentally it's because flow limits are related to the speed of sound, and the speed of sound is mostly not affected by pressure.

I think I got confused by the term " Corrected airflow (lb/min)" on the x-axis on compressor maps. This looked to me like it can only flow a certain mass-flow. That little word "corrected" sure packs a punch here!

Got a little done today, not nearly as productive as I would have liked but got sick for a while and couldn't work.
Anyways made good progress on boost pipe, but it's still not quite done. Will finish it tomorrow. The easy part is left, I tried to make it earlier but cut a couple pieces wrong and decided to call it a night.
Pics of what I did do though.
And this little guy still looking good!

It's tucked up pretty high, and inside the rear fender well too. I actually think it might stay dry. Will test, and change something if it gets wet. The filter barely fits there, but it fits, so sticking with simplicity until proven that it needs to be more complex.
