The 360* thrust helps with the added back pressure at high boost pressures if the D66 has one. I haven't seen inside a D66, but I'm sure they do something with it since people run decent pressure with them. The D66 should be fine around 35psi or so, but I'm not sure what back pressure is going to look like. EGTs could become a problem. Any which way you look at it, the D66 has a stock exhaust side and exhaust will not be able to escape any faster than a stock turbo.
That is where the wastegate comes in for the SD guys running hybrids with their D66. We have a larger turbine housing than they do, but with my stage 2s and a stock turbo a couple years ago I was seeing close to 2:1 drive to boost ratios. The turbo was perfectly fine with that for about 100k miles and its still in great shape after I removed it, so the D66 should survive, but I bet EGTs will still get kinda hot.
