The link below talks about what Honeywell/Garrett are working on. The key part of the article is the electrical wastegate controller. My friend Brian in LA says that this electrical controller is being used by all the racers, and is the key to better controlling boost, and therefore heat, and over-spooling. Hey Tracy, is there room in the ECU for another circuit??.....(:-)

Thanks for the info Giff. I finally received some email response from Mistral, about their manifolding, turbos, etc., and their basic opinion is they want you to buy the whole engine, and don't waste their tech support's time about components, unless you are ready to buy. Maybe I approached them wrong, but what can you do? The old boy in LA is willing to do the manifolding pretty cheap, and my parts/engine guy in LA is talking to Garrett for me to see what they think. They've (Garrett and my Buds) been at this for a while, and my bet is they can come up with something, we'll see.

I am going with a Mistral G 360 TS. Mistral has found that the 3 rotor (20B)
has high turbine loads during testing. They are certificating the G 300
first and believe they will have it completed late this year. They are going
to have to go to a 3 scroll turbine to accept the exhaust loads on the
turbine. The only 3 scroll turbines are used on diesels and are too heavy
for our use.
