A DD turbo is what I am looking for. It is small and restrictive, but you have to remember that I am going to be running extremely lean AFRs with a Atkinson 3.5 valve setup, turning about 2000 rpm and needing only 3-5 horsepower during cruise due to extensive aero mods. The site says it is good for up too 250 ponies max @ 15 psi, but I'll adjust the wastegate to 5-7 psi to save my internals. I hope for 175 HPR max.

In lean burn you will have a time delay because it takes some time for the heat to stack up at the turbine.
Sweet, that is great to hear! I really wish that I had not spent close to $400 last night on a new alternator, battery and other supplies It will have to wait for a while till I can replenish my funds.

I did not know that your high pressure turbo was that small. It seems to be more restrictive than the Black Top! Yet you get amazing results, no doubt because of your big turbo and tuning. It is good to know that I'm not going to be in boost on every small hill while lean burning
