I have no clue. Looks good on paper, but real life it sucks. I think it was eating the air the turbo made too well because of the valves as you said. From what we have figured the intake and exhaust should be at least 75% efficient to 29psi with a stock head, mine wouldn't make more than 18psi so I think it was eating up all the boost and possibly overspeeding. If it were stock valves I bet it would have lasted a bit more.

If I am going to make a setup I will make it with something that works and not just fits. I am thinking of a scwitzer s200 super but I don't know what I will do. Lots of thinking less money than thinking.
That S200 is similar to a Holset HX35 but with an even bigger turbine housing, will never spool The Holset HE211W or a special version of the HE221W both have 5cm turbine housing and that's as big as I would go in a single turbo setup. He211W is similar to a GT2056 and that 5cm HE221W would translate to a "GT2158" and it has a durable billett compressor wheel, tested to up to 45psi on 1.6TD wouldn't recommend running more than 36psi in the long run though. Have one I could let go for 500USD + shipping to help you out. Not even covering my costs but I feel your pain after 2x turbo failures. I could get hold of a HE211W for you if needed as well. Also tested up to 45psi, never seen one of these small frame Holsets fail yet Seen lots of KKK and Garretts fail on these 1.6TD high boost applications.The normal HE221W has a 7m turbine housing and wheels similar to the GTB2260VK, but I's too laggy run as a single turbo i have a custom machined 5cm turbine housing for it but haven't tested it yet.
Theman, As I recall, you were waiting (forever) for some flow info from the guy that did your head. I'll bet those numbers would help right about now.One thing for sure - this ain't no 1.6 anymore
