I would check to see what the valve springs, mainly the exhaust springs are rated for. The 250 was never speced to have an exhaust brake. There is a lot of back pressure caused by closing the vanes, which creates the back pressure to slow down the motor. On the 5.9 cummins, you need to add...
Looking at the Holset manual, its a VGT turbo. A lot of electronics are needed to properly run it. I would check the size and compare it to a HT3B, HT4B and HT60. That would give you an idea of spool. If the turbo is left in the wide open position, it acts like a normal, fixed vane turbo, so...

My injector comment was more about the OEM nozzles and how they are not optimal in stock form, then compounded with more fuel and boost, thus higher cylinder pressures and you have more unnecessary heat. It would be nice to figure out the best spray angle and hole arrangement for our pistons...
What injectors did you go with? I will be adding an intercooler soon and want to see what else can be done. I heard the pump will flow enough for 400hp but the injectors have a bad spray pattern, so even when you throw more fuel at it, the spray pattern is outside the bowl of the cylinders and...
