Kam reset after powermax install?

Hello, I installed a powermax turbo and would like to know does the kam reset do the vgt relearn? Also what all does the kam reset do? I do have ae. The turbo ids coughing when trying to accelerate, not all the time, just on fairly steep grades. The vail pass "help" thread is mine and explains it all.

I have seen a small rise in EGT's under normal driving but at WOT in is about 200* less.
Did you get your tunes updated, that will make a difference.
I did not do a relearn for the VGT and I don't think you need to.

If you have a stock exhaust, you could see higher egt's. You have a larger turbo pushing more hot exhaust out the same size pipe.

Makes sense. I didn't c 1300 at all, so that's good. About 1260 was max....which I'm not used to seeing, I would only let er sit that hot for a couple secs b4 backing down to around 1150. With my operation, I just can't justify the price for the 4 inch. I would probably go back with the stock turbo b4 that. I would hate to tho.
