Yes it is variable from the 6.7L cummins, however i'm going to ditch the electronic control for some sort of pneumatic/spring control. Probably boost referenced. Several have done this already with seemingly good results.

Also, it doesn't have a typical T-3 manifold foot, so i'll have to make an adapter.

Yeah we'll see how it does.

Who's the several people you're talking about? AFAIK, guys were still trying to make up a controller.

I thought about a cable hooked to the lever, other end goes to the throttle and makes it so it opens/closes as you push the throttle. Shouldn't be too hard

He picked up .30 in the 1/4 mile with just that turbo.

I'd say stay away from the he351ve or the super 40. Those are damned near stock turbo's just mildly upgraded and if it were me, id rather get more bang for my buck. Id get a 62 or a 64mm.

A Super 40 is a good upgrade for our trucks. A P7100 is a whole 'nother monster compared to our little VE.

I know its a whole different monster, I still would never get a Super 40. Your spending money on getting basicaly another stock turbo with mild upgrades. It's a waist.

Have you seen the map for the super 40 compressor wheel? Its actually better than the s300 62mm wheel.
