Good for 35 psi on my duramax,lol
One nice thing about a 2.5 engine bay you could fit one in front of your radiator
Yes is simplifies some plumbing as well. The above guide mentions a Volvo unit that fits.

A lot of that OEM stuff is outdated technology. The newer turbos have better wheel and housing designs that make them spool quicker and vastly more efficient. Tuning can be done with HP Tuners. All you need is an interface, 2 BAR MAP sensor and a set of larger injectors.
@Flyin' Ryan Performance does remote tuning for jeep and mopar. It isn't cheap,but supposedly does a good job.

Ryan can do the tuning through the interface?
Pardon the questions, I have zero experience at all with this stuff.
Won’t be in cali by then.

High level: Using HP Tuners (one option), you copy your current tune from your ecu and simply email it to Ryan. For him to know what changes to make to the tune, you use HP Tuners to data log the engine during a drive. You email the data log to Ryan as well. He analyses the log, makes his changes, emails you the new tune, and you load it to your ecu using HP Tuners. Pull another data log, repeat.
The rub is that to do a good performance tune Ryan also needs to see AFR data, which requires an AFR guage (which is how HP Tuners gets the data) and a wide band o2 sensor.
It’s pretty cool how it all works.
Is this a matter of Dyno time and Ryan remote tuning? Or can a conservative tune be plugged in?
Is there a port on the interface for the AFR gauge? All this info can be shown real time via Bluetooth as well?
Seeing as its a one off situation i doubt he has a canned tune for you.
I suggest you pencil out prices and total weight for this turbo swap (including getting rid of the ax5) as much as you can. And the hp lvl you are buying with it.
then do the same with an ls1 or other aluminum block v8 swap in stock,reliable for hundreds of thousands of miles form.
This is a fun project.but will likely weigh similar and be 100 or more hp less.
If you are curious, here is one of my data log sessions using the VCM Scanner.
Have to figure out if cost vs HP gained is worth it.
