I have a hybrid 60/16 GDS, 3 inch stainless cooler tubz, 7.3 power stroke intercooler, huge John Deere combine air filter, and I removed the grid heaters, timing is to the head, dynomite diesel stage 4 injectors, dynomite diesel fuel pin, carter 4160 fuel pump, 4 inch exhaust, 3,200 governor springs, the VE injection pump is near maxed out, big fuel lines, and a tuned AFC, I have smoke at low boost but it cleans up nice at 42 psi, EGT's are 1,300* pre turbo on a max wide open throttle run.
Nice! Makes me miss my old 12-valve. Yours is a little more bombed then mine was. There is a 95 2500 reg cab standard with 200k for $8,500 not far from me. I have been debating on picking it up as my next project.
The good thing about these modern VG turbos is that, along with he exhaust brake, they spool quick enough so that the air catches up with the fuel being injected a lot quicker limiting the smoke, but the down side is that they are not as reliable as the old turbos.
