Thats why they limit it to only 30 seconds at WOT at a time. And then there is like a 3 minute cool off period.

I can prove you totally wrong, but it will cost you... about $180,000. Mercedes Benz S65 twin turbo 6.0L V8. It only produces 720 lbs at 1800 RPMs. Ive almost wrecked my fair share... which is only 1 of them. hahaha. You cant stop 700+ lbs at 2000 rpms even with 8 piston front clipers on 15+" rotors.
Interesting, but how much does it put out at "idle"?? 1800r's is a hell of a high idle, but I could be totally wrong too since I'm not into that foreign ****, lol.. :D

Beats me, but I'd blipped the throttle once in the parking lot and never did that **** again. You'll learn to have a light foot after almost putting that car into a few more $100k cars.

On Those cars, blipping the throttle will put you at 2500 easily. And it makes 722 ft lbs from 1800 - 3600. Flat torque curve. That's some power for that ass.

They did it by electronically controlled waste gates.

Never heard of electronically controlled waste gates, but that does make sense though, it's just money way out of my league, lol..

Aria or displacement turbos. Not so much a wastegate but small vains that open and close Porsche uses them as do a lot of newer deisel stuff.

Until they soot up and the vains don’t move then you have a low compression turd that’s NA or an NA deisel lol. Diesels are the worst for soot tho rolling coal looks neat but is very much bad high egts and close thing variable turbos see how I jacked my own **** lol

The 2000 K3500 with the 6.5 diesel I have was having issues with the turbo, it is an electronically controlled wastegate.
New vacuum pump, new boost control solenoid and it works wonderfully now.
EGTs was up over 1200, I was very concerned about those numbers, found out that they will withstand 1500 degrees for hours, not so concerned about 1200 degrees anymore. LOL
I have not had it on a pull since getting the wastegate to properly function, just guessing, it now will probably be in the 900 degree range.
Nice thing about having a properly functioning wastegate, no more coal. LOL

Always thought my little brown truck would look wicked with a blower sticking out of the hood.
Maybe after I win the lottery.
