Your idea sounds interesting. An electronically controlled turbine should be easy to implement since it only needs to read boost and adjust to that. VGT control will need RPM and throttle position. I might just do it after I return from the trip.

As far as engine limitations go:
Maximum pressure loss over the intercooler is around 10-12psi. A LOT. This means exhaust manifold pressure is HIGH. Which in turn means quite a bit of wasted energy there. Might I add that the hot side of the turbine is small, so that means even more restriction. Choked intake, choked exhaust. Exhaust was so choked by the stock muffler that it would start to overheat on long climbs. Replaced that with something less restrictive and overheating was gone.

Yeah...that's me whining about the Jeeps bad implementation
