I'm going to start of by stating I am fully aware the differences between the VNT and wastegate bypass systems, and that while they accomplish the same thing they are vastly different design-wise.
With that out of the way, I'm wondering how many of you have run a "wastegate style" turbocharger on your diesels. I'm running an ALH in my swapped Tacoma and I'm experiencing really high EGTs, so would like to explore the idea of a larger turbo. There is a tremendous availability of aftermarket wastegate-style turbos on the market, many of which I can get at a discounted rate through local performance shops. I feel like this topic isn't often discussed due to the amount of custom fabrication that would be involved, however I'm running a fully custom log-style manifold in my application so I'm not limited to what I can and can't run. My concern being the ability to tune the ECU to work with a wastegate-style turbo. I would love to hear others' experiences, if any. Thanks all!
