You are really going to spend $5k+ when all of this is because you aren't happy with a $400 TB? You probably have the most issue at 70% throttle range as that is probably where the blade has the most drag and stresses the motor the most (peak coefficient of lift on the blade due to the angle of attack of the air before it stalls).

Well I have talked with a couple site sponsors that do turbo setups and it seems if properly sized I would be just as well off with a Single, so maybe that's the way Ill look to go. What intake manifold does everyone suggest? I am leaning to going right to the Hi Ram, I have a TBSS intake I can use but Ill need different fuel rails for it as the injector angle is different then most aftermarket intakes. My fuel lines are -8 so naturally Ill be needing aftermarket rails with whatever setup so I cant just toss on the TBSS intake.
I already have 4" exhaust so Ill just hook the down pipe up to my existing exhaust, I imagine its going to be much quieter with a turbo.
I just have to sell my blower first. Decisions, Decisions.
Anyone wanna buy a TVS2300 with every mod already done to it and about 3500 miles on it?

I thought your throttle issue was in the PCM when skimmed through the posts. I figured you could spend the $5000 for a Dominator setup so you could keep your $400 throttle and blower setup.

If you wanted to bandaid the problem, you could just make your pedal position discontinuous with throttle position. Instead of commanding 70-80% throttle position, skip from 60-90 or 60-100. Not exactly desirable and I'm sure you're past the point of considering that, but if the throttle manufacturer uses a motor too weak for the flow then that's an option.

I have considered it briefly but don't like the idea. To me that's a band aide. The LS2 throttlebody works like a champ and always has, but to spin this thing max it needs a 102.

My turbo setup was outrageous by most standards. Autometer 2000F sensor right before the turbine inlet. Idle - 850F, cruise - 1400F, WOT - 2000F+ (finished a run before it ever leveled out and rose over 500 degrees in a few seconds usually).
Blower setup with probe near header collector, idle - 750F, cruise - 1100F, WOT - 1400F.

The glitch with egt in one location at the turbo.
Exhaust is stacking up.
You can get hi egt with over fueling as easy as lean.
Move the timing around can also change the egt.
Watching widebands are more accurate to me.
