Kwikspool b1b-2 to b1-2 tow

Here's the deal,i bought a kwikspool b1b-2 on a recommendation from a local diesel shop,had it installed with my BD brake.Due to a busy work schedule,i could not tow with it until late this year(8000LBS).First impression,not good---maybe i guess,with just EDM1.5's, comp box turned OFF i could hit 1200 preturbo at about mid throttle going up a average hill,anyone know if this is correct.I'm thinking about maybe selling this turbo and going with a regular B1-2.I am also going to sell the comp and go with Bob/Marco CATCHER ecm.On level ground i was about 750-800 post/1000pre,does this sound to hot ,it is to me ,not much room left for passing on a grade(not suppost to go above 1200pre right).Piers says to go with a B1-2/wastegated tow version,--- you have the wrong turbo.Without towing ,comp on 2x3 i can pin the 35lbs boost guage and hit 1200-1300 pretty quick rowing through the gears.If i was not interested in towing,maybe this turbo would work cause it lights pretty fast but put on a good load behind it and it gets hot fast.Tell me if it should stay or sell.THANKS DW
