I think you should have held off on DV's and tried your hardest to get a turbo. Those DV's won't do any good without more air to burn it.

adjust the wastegate and put a boost elbow in line, if ya cant get what ya need you can try to squeeze what you need out of it with what you have... safetly of course... no one wants to grenade their turbo

make sure your TV is adjusted properly, take off in 1st, put it in drive and hold it to the wood. WOT with a GSK i dont see why your trans wouldnt hold its shift til 2600 rpm.

ditto. dont block it completely, Im sure with all that fuel you could push the little HX35 to 55lbs, but its not good for the turbo.

Don't go over 40 with it for efficiency. As far as quick little spikes, my '35 has hit 55psi a couple times, and still looks none the worse for wear.

No, it isnt going to immediately blow it running to 55psi, but its very inefficient at that level, and im sure drive pressures are off the chart. ~35psi is the best for these.
