I just don't want the motor to be working as hard. Less boost. My tuner has already described the above, less boost at peak torque etc. See how it works. Regardless, many people have had issues around that power level with 4 bolt heads.

Those EFR Borg turbos are bad ***. I have used them on a couple builds and been impressed! While a little longer, they greatly simplify piping! Integrated BOV is nice.

He's still day dreaming. Engine Dyno and in a car are two way different applications. Twin 6766 Precisions or 366 Borgs on a 5.3 with head studs and gaskets, cam, valve springs and pushrods is the way to go. No reason to give up power/torque with the shorter stroke.

If u can't control boost at peak tq, one could dial timing back a bit at peak tq as well.

This is true! Use to go through head gaskets like crazy!
