It's been done. Jeff and I bounced that idea around being the VVT's are primarily a diesel turbo, I figured he was the one to go to. Aside from being able to make boost in neutral, there's really no real benefit looking at the dynocharts of a holset that was posted.
Then again, it could've been a shit engine (although seeing the vac it pulled at idle I don't think it was.
I still bounce the idea around, then realize my FC will make positive pressure by 2k and still have 6500 useable rpm's to go. There are easier more proven ways to build boost fast

That being said, EFR turbos are simpler and spool really fast. I'd just go with one of those. As a matter of fact I did. TWICE. LOL
