(05-15-2020, 06:23 AM)50harleyrider The egt is for sure helped by a free flowing exhaust with the GTA2359VK I am currently running. I have found back pressure increases for the different mufflers, exhaust sizes, types are insignificant with the higher egt's I have experienced changing exhaust componemts. This leads me to believe that tiny increases in back pressure probably affect egt's significantly and we should focus on exhaust components more and really dissect the influence they have on egt and why. When I straight pipe mine during my frustrating attempts to kill drone, I couldn't force my egt's much past 1100F under full load up long grades of 6-7% which btw are easy to find in WV. I hope you guys try the electronic actuator if and when you install the 2359, so boost control is tightened up to a point where egt's can be better controlled than the vacuum actuator I am running. It would be a good idea to upgrade to a tube header exhaust manifold like the guys running the big Holsets are doing if you're up to it. At any rate, you won't be disappointed with the 2359 performance wise. Cheers.
good to know. I am curious on the electric actuator, how did you source a connector for it? was it anything special? Also were there certain versions of the gt2359v with actuators that the dsl1 can control and others that can't?
lastly...let me know when you're able to get a boost curve or some numbers to compare with :-) I'm mainly interested in what boost it can build at 12, 15, 18 rpm.
Where in Wv are you located? I'm over in Southwest VA for reference
