Mine seems to be working out really well. I was initially afraid to go with a 12cm turbine due to EGT issues with added fuel, etc. So I went the upgrade everything else first route, intake, exhaust, IC, etc. Finally added the turdo parts from Gillet and a 12cm housing just a couple weeks ago, and it is great! EGT is fine (1250 max at WOT), so it must be doing the job pretty well.

I've got the same turbo setup as Ace and I don't have egt issues until I start pulling my 8000lb trailer up the steeper longer passes. Then I have engine temp issues also.

Apparently you bought the last one, lol... I was thinking 16cm ex housing with the 60mm compressor- is anyone running this that can vouch for it? Is it worth it to go to a 12cm exhaust w a wastegate? thx guys
