I still stand by my original comments from post #39, which I have noted below...
Holy crap look at that EGT gauge go!
Wow...
Despite the boost and RPM climbing, the EGT continues to climb to 1600 where the gauge is pegged.
I think you will be very pleased with the new SXE turbo and hopefully the VGT/VNT is a great performer too.
On a side note, I really like the gauge overlay that you used. I should have done that for my gauges when I was creating some of my videos...

Holy cow. Over 3 bar of boost and over 3000 rpm! That is outstanding.
Thanks! The retaining the exhaust brake/EBPV function is what attracted to to the VGT/VNT turbine housing too. I have yet to find your build thread on PSN. I doubt your setup is suffering from lag though.

I got set up to bench test the Turbonator yesterday and ran into a hiccup. It seems I might have a wonky controller. It refused to close the vanes down to 0% when commanded. I spent an hour and a half with their tech Brett trying to figure it out before he told me to send the controller and entire wire harness in. It's going back today. Stay tuned for more news.

Subscribed to this one. Very curious on the Turbonator. Be kind of nice to have exhaust brake. Although if my research is correct, is this looking like roughly a $2500 additional price tag (if getting exhaust brake option on Turbonator) to the already "close to $2500" price of upgrading to the T4/SXE? So close to $5000? If so, ouch.....
