    Close your turbo waste gate should give you a bit more boost. Also you can buy bigger exhaust mainafold with more flow I think the best seller on the market is bully dog 30 more hp with that.

    there is a little rubber hose approx. 3/8" OD at the turbo, take off one end of the line and shove a round object into it and hose clamp the crap out if it so it doesn't fall out and secure it to something that's not too hot and your done.

    I have a 3046E set at 550 and I'm going to do this today to see if I gain anything, I'm hauling silage on a 2 mile round trip, 4 corners, lots of stop and go at 45,000 lbs empty and 85-87000 loaded so I'll know real soon if it helps on my end and let you know

    I forgot you can also unplug fuel sensor and splice a small resistor in wires instead also horse power boost
