Default Procharger w/wastegate article in GMHTP

GM High-Tech Performance magazine has an article this month where Joe Borschke, a Troy, MI Tuner, used a Tial 44mm wastegate to limit the boost on a D-1SC equipted 2010 LS3 Camaro. He plumbed the Tial between the D-1SC and the FMIC and reduced the pulley from a 4.75" to a 4.0" and pick up 60+ ft lbs of torque under the curve.

You'll have to pick up a copy to actually read the article but I added some scans below. IMO, GMHTM is the best magazine out there on forced induction LSx motors so you should all be subscribing to it.

I've heard its harder on the blower's transmission. Also been told that a restrictor on the blower inlet is better for this (at lower blower speeds its less of a restriction, and more up top). There is a shop that has one that has opens up differently for different boost levels (like per gear).
