Yes I am. I am sure though the only reason why it is still holding up just fine is because I drive like an old man. I really never give it more than 1/4 throttle to go anywhere because I just dont need to. With that I still take off faster than normal traffic. :evil

I don't tow much either but do have a 6-7k lb boat to haul. I think it is probably feasible with that light of a load

To answer your question yes you can haul your boat with our setup cause i just did it yesterday... i am running erics xtreme x early lock with a mild ficm flash and i towed my 6k center console boat (with tow haul of course) and as long as i didnt let the boost fall below 5 psi i couldnt get it to break 1k degrees. And eric told me himself i was safe in towing with that tuning :thumbup:

Just installed Adrian's MTW hybrid with the batmowheel. Haven't been able to get many miles on it for a full relearn on the turbo and trans...only like 40 miles or so. But so far it seems to clean up the 190's i have better than the 64mm non vgt i was running. Seems a little higher on EGT's but still need to do some more driving to get a better idea. Here's a start up vid with some throttle taps.

I had Eric at ID update my extreme x for the hybrid vgt. He sent me two versions one with late lockup and one with early lockup. I have the late lockup in it now testing it out. I wanna put a few hundred miles on this tune to see if it gets better the more i drive and put miles on it before i switch tunes.

Have you had any truck that has check backpressure on these chargers? VGT's always carry more BP, so if the thing is hitting 55psi (stage 4), makes me wonder what BP it is seeing?

Also, is there any compressor map for these chargers to see if they are happy at those levels?

Lastly, you are doing something on the exhaust side right? Any of them had any issues with surging?

The Stage 3 and Stage 4 turbos have stuff done to the turbine end. No surging has been noted so far.

I ran BP on the Stage 2 and it was around 1.1:1 -1.3:1 depending on what tune I was running. That was with stock injectors.

You dynoed over 600 hp, and to hear that your tranny is still holding is crazy. Thats the problem with having power, you have to start upgrading everything else. I think 500 hp would be more in my pocketbook range. Lol

I argree with you, thats way I offer the smaller turbos that still gives the truck a power shot. Stage 1 is a great turbo even for stock head studs, tows great, and runs great with stock injectors. Makes the truck feel 1000lbs lighter and alot fun. I also priced it at a smaller amout than a stock turbo rebuild. If you wanted to go up in performance you can with this turbo also, it has hit 475-485 on dyno with good tune and studs. Put in some injectors and you will be over 500rwhp and more depending on injectors.
I will be putting together some power combos together that will be very affordable and get you 500-540rwhp.
I also have a Hybrid that goes for about same price of a powermax but comes with a billet wheel. That turbo is a step up and will make between 500-575rwhp with right injectors.
One thing I do with the turbos I build is that spool up is extremely fast, and I'm always trying to make them spool faster.
Each turbo is basically a one off, I'm a one man band, I'm the only one cleaning, and building these turbo. I'm not a major speed shop, or retailer( nothing wrong with that) so I can not pump out huge numbers of turbos. I have built and sold over 60 and add about 40 to that each month.
I don't just build performance turbo, I build good replacement turbo that are much better than stock, and as things go just as realiable, but we have to see with time.:ford:

I am curious about the drive pressure numbers and some compressor maps as well.

The tranny is not under heavy stress on the dyno, particularily on a Mustang dyno like what PHP has. The real stress comes form driving on the street or strip. Like Nate said, if he drives like an old man, it can live at that level, but if you really push it, the tranny won't last long. I think Nate said he was planning on a tranny in the very near future.

Compressor map for stage 3 is same as the map for the garrett gt4094va they make for the Duramax. Compressor for the stage 4 I don't have, as far as backpressures, I don't have any of the stage 3 checking back pressures, that will come in time, stage 3 turbo is only about month and ahalf old, and stage 4 is 1 week old.
still putting down go numbers and keeping egt in check, so backpressure should be low. Egts and horsepower would be suffering if brackpressure was high.

Im running Matts SRL as a DD. Are you saying with my SRL AND FICM tune, i can be in the 475 range with a stage 1 turbo?

Will you PM me a price on a stage one?
