What kind of mileage (or time depending on how you run), did you see out of your YTS?

Mcbee, HD, etc all rely on aftermarket VGT rings and vanes, etc. I even see Bullydog jumping in selling aftermarket crap at nearly OE pricing.

Yep you're right on pricing...they're up there. If everything goes well with my core, I'll be about 5k deep with turbo and actuator from YTS. However, if it serves me well, it beats the alternatives. My local Cummins dealer claimed they had no RX available for my setup (cm2350), and the new prices are astronomical! If a reg guy rolls into the dealer to replace the turbo/actuator, it would cost 15k+ between parts, labor and sales tax. Seriously unbelievable.
