Well results are obviously preliminary, but here are some test results from yesterday...

Idle 40k ~ 520*c @ 1.1LB thrust
65k ~ 479*c @ 4.5LB thrust
92k ~ 451*c @ 12.5LB thrust
110k ~ 460*c @ 23.5LB thrust
117k ~ 497*c @ 27.75LB thrust

So far everything seems to be going very well ~ With the lower EGT temps the hot zone parts will encounter less erosion and last much longer with less fatigue or warping.
If everything keeps on target and demand is there, the owners will consider building and selling these to the public...So if you are interested, give them a call and inquire.
Short of building more i have accomplished what i had set out to do...Build the last 28 LB turbine you may ever need.
