Mary Beth, If you'd be so kind as to share your experiences/opinions on the Green XL? You are the only one that came to mind running a similar setup. I'm curious if you're seeing similar numbers in spool/power
Mine is a weird version, as well. It's not an HTA, (based off of looking at photos of the HTA housing and what's on mine) but its suppose to have the larger compressor wheel/housing. When it was being tuned, the car could not get over 29psi. So at that 29 psi it made 442WHP (Mustang Dyno.) Originally thought it needed a different wastegate. (still internally gated), but come to find out, it was getting stuck - and eventually stuck open. I ran Drag Week on this turbo, so its got around 1100 miles, and its a blast, and it traps 126mph. The spool on it is more than I am used to, but its still very streetable. Hoping next season to get the eastegate issue straightened out, and to push it harder - I'd like to get it to run over 30psi. Even though in its current state its a freaking blast.
So.... in a nutshell, I'd like to get the wastegate issue fixed and then go back and see if it helps the spool some, as well as make more power. I honestly don't know if its always been messed up, or if that came later on at this point. I'm inclined to say it's always had the issue since it wouldn't make more than 29psi - no matter what he tried.
