To answer a couple of your questions:
1) Yep, this was on a DynoJet chassis dyno. A dyno with a PAU (power absorbtion unit) is preferred but the inertial Dynojets can be useful. They can only take measurements at WOT/full rack (depending) but they can be helpful.
2) The turbo was built for me by Tim's Turbos in VA. It has a T04 compressor with clipped vanes and the hot side is stock.
3) My injection pump is a Dieselmeken SuperPump - Dieselmeken is Goran Lindgren. I can't say enough good things about Goran! His English is - um - interesting but so much better than my Swedish (I have none other than "smorgasbord") that I can't say a thing. I'm not sure you would want or need a Superpump with its 8mm elements for a street driver but he'll work out something for your application.
BTW - I got an Email from Goran this morning. We says I'll be safer at 20ish. PSI boost than at 16 given the smoke output at 16. Darn, more HP!
