George, now you have me thinking, and that is dangerous, LOL

I'll have to look at my turbo and try to spot a wastegate, but I have
no problem developing 26-28 lbs of boost and pyro temps have never
gotten above 900 even pulling 8% for long periods. BUT! It is a bit
slow to spin up and get going from a dead stop.

What years have the new turbo?
