All that chit and he's running a 38r. Wtf!?!?! Lol!

Yeah I know. It's kinda ridiculous to have a 38r on this build, but I didn't plan on keeping it this way. My plan was just to break it in, put about 10-12k on it, then go to the GTX4294r. Some folks have different ideas on how to, or when an engine is broke in. I chose to put 10-12k on the engine before I really pushed it hard. So here we are, and now the Turbo options have changed as well. So at this point I'm looking for the Turbo that can Maximize my build and still be DD and still Tow decently. This is where as I mentioned before I've talked to Matt/Irate,/Matt GH, Charlie Fish as well as some of you here with real world scenarios with other Turbo options.
Anyhow. As Brad mentioned, we got together yesterday and did some comparisons. We first took a ride in his rig and WOW is all I can say.
1. DD tune; We got on the freeway on ramp and pushed it quick on up to 60mph, then hard on up to 95mph. Very Quiet, I could barely hear the Turbo sing'n. Egts were very good as well. I think Brad recorded this as well. Maybe hit 1150 or so.
2. All out Tune; hammered down from 55-95mph. Man that frick'n turbo hits 40psi twice as fast as my 38r does, and the egts come back down lower and much quicker than my 38r also. I wouldn't of believed it if I hadn't seen it myself. I honestly didn't expect this. This Turbo is very impressive.
So yes, I do have an idle issue, but it's in my conservative tune. It's pulled way back in order to control the smoke and egt's, so I know it's mostly tuning here. In park, I can snap the throttle in this conservative tune and get almost no smoke at all. This is the tune I smog in, even if the idle rolls a bit. My DD tune idles and drives much more decently. Occasionally it'll romp some, but mostly it idles good. Anyhow, I also have to give a thank you to Brad on here for taking the time to come out and plug his Torque Pro in to my rig and provide me with some very good data as well. Maybe he'll post up a run we did in my Hot Tune from a slight roll, on up to 95 mph+/- see what y'all think..
Also, I had a conversation with Mike and he suggested I back my wastegate off 2 turns to see if this would help with my egts. It did help. When driving up a grade here local to me, before my egts would hit 1150 just cruising up this grade at about 65-70 mph. Normal driving. After backing off the WG, same scenario my egts won't go over 950 +/-. I also noticed that while driving on a flat road/surface and at around 75mph my egts would stay at around 800-900. Well, today I took it out for about a 70 mile drive and on a flat road surface at 70-75mph my egts stayed around 650 on the low end to 750 on the high end. BIG difference by just backing off the wastegate a tad. Thank you as well Mike.
