If Smokey approves your build then you should be proud of your tuning wizardry man! :thumbsup:
And holy number nines man why did nobody thought about having diesel turbos for petrol cars before? That should be a massive improvement! 😮
At least you've got enough rubbers to keep the car going 😃
its quite common on junkyard builds in America till 500 hp is easy but after that, it gets harder but it is a big improvement i think the high Horsepower guys avoid because of complexity and lack of experienced tuners so they go for the more proven designs also they usually don't care about bottom end power.
his is actually my fifth setup with variable turbos the first one I did was on my IS300 back in America with this same turbo but the stock Gm version that i got from a junkyard and it was even more responsive I had full 17 psi at only 2500 rpm pushing reliable 500 from the GE. Also managing the VGT is a problem for normal standalone's but since I build my Arduino based ECU's is way easier for me to control
