I have read in other posts that the kkk26 will work on a 616 without a waste gate, and with your tuned up pump it should build boost reasonably soon. I like the adjustability of the VNT, as I can set where the boost starts to build.

Currently, I am not using the vacuum actuator, and adjusted the vanes so I start building boost quick and the max boost is 15-20 psi. Normal driving around town sees 5 lbs. On the highway cruising at 70 MPH the gauge reads about 3 - 4 lbs of boost, and goes up on demand of power.

I have not installed the EMP gauge yet, that will tell how efficient it is on the top end, the lower the EMP the better.

I have an extra GT2056V that I bought for a back up, or parts, it needs the ring that connects all the vanes to the control arm and some general TLC. I would trade it for the manifolds you sent me if you are interested.

I am betting that when I go to the 10mm Pump, I will have to regulate the boost, but, I am hoping that is not the case, this set up is very simple and drivable.
