It’s my understanding that the turbo dyno charts look so much different than the TS charts because the dyno can’t keep enough load on the turbo at high rpm to keep the boost levels up. Subsequently the torque curves aren’t up where they should be at higher RPM levels.

Yes that video link by MyFastGT, is pretty much stock with the exception of CMCV deletes.
The Mufflers are stock as well as the rest of the drivetrain, his car now has 3.73. But other than that its bone stock.


Here is a link to a vid of the car at the track, if you notice it still has the stock muff's on it.

I opted for a custom kit b/c I wanted a bit more. It actually cost me about $800 more for my kit and not cutting any corners...not that Powerhouse did. I just went for some products that wouldn't limit me in the HP catagory.

Precision 76mm ballbearing turbo
JGS wastegate
Greddy BOV
1200 hp rated intercooler
Does the 76 use both exhaust? How did you hook the cats back uo?
Why that JGS wastegate? All these parts were $800?
I knowthe normal install is 1000 how much was extra labor cost

Yes. No cats. All single turbo setups have the exhaust from both manifolds routed into one to the hot side of the turbo. The intake side is routed to the intake itself. I'm not 100%, but I think the Hellion kit is working with the cats. Atleast they were trying too.
JGS makes quality parts. Not too expensive either. My setup was roughly $800 over the price of most kits. In other words...for example...if a kit cost you $5000, mine cost me $5800. Labor is going to be different for every shop. As I understand it, the Powerhouse kit is pretty simple to install yourself. There's plenty of guys online that have that could give support as well as the Powerhouse guys are very helpful if you have a snag. They have detailed instructions for the install.
