7.3 idi boost.....

yes it would be cooler, not sure how much. thats why most up pipes are wrapped to keep the heat in and help performance. i am using a hypermax base and it has a fair amount of piping but much smaller diameter.

Now considering temp follows pressure and pressure follows temp. (The only thing I remember from high school lol) do you think that the cooler temp between the engine and the turbo and the lag would be singnificant enough for me to either not need a wastegate and be “safe”

Your drive pressure is too high that will take out head gaskets alone and reduce power less than what it was non turbo. Picking a turbo has allot of math behind it and research

Go for a drive and see what it does. With that small of a turbo I'm surprised you didn't see any boost free revving. Mine makes 3 psi at 3300 RPM in neutral.

Rev it to the governor next time.

My turbo makes 3psi on the governor in neutral too
