This new turbo has little bitty parts that are normally very sensitive to heat. Gasoline burns hotter and produces higher EGT than diesel. It looks like Porsche and Garrett found out that T316 (or higher) can handle the heat.

The Focus Aerocharger Variable Vane turbo was the only thing on the market for Zetecs for a while there and the people who had it liked it.
The only problem asside from tuning that wasn't as good as it could have been, was that the vanes would eventually gunk up and would start overboosting and would ruin the turbo or blow the engine.
I've heard of a few guys who fixed the overboosting by just putting in a aftermarket external wastegate but that kind of defeats the purpose of the vanes.
The main benefit it had was it had an internal oil supply that would just need to be refilled every 3000 mi so it could be mounted below the oil level if needed.

what is the EGT on gas engines typically? Mine are supposedly ~1300

On my I4, 1200-1300F at cruise speeds are normal without boost.
Underboost, 1400-1500F is safe for stock internals. Forged internals should do 1600F, but I'd like to keep them in the low 1500s.

Hello, and welcome to 7 years ago. 
The first company I contacted to get the turbo kit created for the Contour was Aerodyne. The turbo they used was a VGT as well. They ran into a few production issues with the turbine unit. In the mean time, I was introduced to StreetFlight (now ADC) and the rest is history.
Yeah, the VATN Aerodyne turbo. They developed it but there were problems if I recall. Porche putting it into a production car has just helped out each and every one of us because it will cause others to respond to compete, making the technology cheaper and available.

My EGT on the turbo SVT routinely reached into the 800's Celsius. That is HOT, be things were not melting.
You have to remember that is the gas temp in the center of the stream not the actual metal temp. The metal sinks heat away and so forth and as long as overheating is not present it won't have a problem with it.

It is, direct injection gasoline is where it is at though. Go test drive a MazdaSpeed6 (That actually has a tank full of 93 octane and not 89 or 91 [Otherwise boost gets dumped aroud 4,300 RPM]) and turbo lag will leave your turbo dictionary forever.

Boost comes on at like 2200rpm and holds tell the stock BPV starts reeaving pressure at like 6500
