I've had pretty good success with Copper turbo and header gaskets on the TR

Yep - prices are dropping, I'm stuck with 19 GTX1080Ti..

We are evaluating AMD GPUs for AI - We already sell the Epyc, which is indeed epic.

This is where i work - FYI

Pass key started in 89 or so and the later key's didn't have the little embedded resistor like some of the 3rd gen trans ams.  My 99 silverado had it and just had what looked like a regular key
someone with hp tuners could look at it cranking and tell

I do this for a living.  Most modern processors are limited by the speed of main memory.  The gold standard used to be 4 memory channels per socket.  Upped the game to 6.  AMD Zen upped it to 8.  So most engineering codes run pretty good on zen even though it's 1/2 the flops/clock compared to skylake. 

ARM is interesting and has the same benefits as Zen but it's not X86 compatible.

NVIDIA is still pretty proud of their stuff.  Seems they're selling all the V100's they can to Cloud AI providers.  AMD is quite interesting these days though.

Just to throw out another theory does any of the parts come from a car with passkey?

You don't need it below 15 PSI.  You're OK.  YOu can hook the purple to the 2 step (but I don't remmber if the meth kit takes voltage or a ground to disable the injection)

And lastly, why does the wastegate hole need to be ported? The actuator it came with won't seal properly?

It'll seal...but there's some physics involved with the pressure on the puck. I'll let the others chime in that are more knowledgeable. I have mine out to about .900...but if you go to far the boost won't come up high enuf. It's not an exact science. I'm also using a biggie puck from RJC to keep the boost under control.

The wastegate works by passing exhaust flow mass around the turbine wheel.  If it can't bypass enough it can't lower the boost.  At the same time exhaust back pressure is acting on the wastegate puck trying to force it open.  If it's too open the wastegate will crack open early and bleed off boost.
