you had some pretty good back pressure there. what turbo and exhaust side (wheel size and A/R) did you have on there? hope its less for my 5.3l.
had to be a t76 with .96ar on the exhaust side. this was on a 408.

I have put a boost gauge on mine and that's what told me Im running way to much exhaust pressure and need to change turbos you don't want to run it on the dp, instead run it right before the turbo on the hot side... It would be ideal to run about the same amout of boost in exhaust pressure as intake pressure

If you can check before and after. Before check BP prior to turbo and the other checks BP for the rest of the exhaust.

I doubt it. lol
1 4" is a hard maybe,
3.5 should be no problem. Then jump to dual 3".
