Haven't measure directly in-front of the VGT turbine, but I do measure at the final merge in my own car.
EGTs stay well under 1922°F; even under full-boost/load, they are only ~1600-1700°F.

Interesting, and congrats for the effort.
I had been looking again at VGT/VNT turbos recently and wondered how they would hold against EGT on a petrol engine.
Supposedly the variable vane mechanism should last "decently long" when running enough timing to reduced EGT to a minimum, meaning removing most restrictions from the stock hardware?

Thanks again guys on the excitement! I have pushed these turbos to the max many many times on Diesels and that last for ever! The EGT's are something I would like to monitor and we will add a bung to the up pipe to measure it! Josh can vouch for how hard I am driving this pig, dumping it between second and third, struggling for traction at 80MPH with 295s on the ground. So far the Feramic setup we are using is up to the task! Axles are next but this is a weak spot on any of our cars! I think Josh and I are going to explore a bolt on setup but it is not going to happen tomorrow. This needs some testing, DRAG, TRACK and Real world daily driving before we push them out the door.
Again, thanks for all of the words of encouragement and excitement! I love it!

I want to be able to buy everything needed to make that setup work including the turbo and that fancy plenum with a few swift clicks of my mouse!

This forum has had allot of interesting developments\projects lately.
Fantastic work! I think i will start collecting dollars again to see if any of this can be made on my car in the future.

The base duty-cycle table axis are rpm & pressure.
Then TPS is a scalar for the interpolated value derived from the 3D table.

make it reliable for the track and you got a kit sold here. Need to stay with porsche engine for pca. My car currently is a blast, but have to stay on boost, otherwise its a slow 4 banger.
