    Ok sounds like it works as hard as the logger I'm working with averaging 1.5 kpl had egr deleted for 3 weeks with no fuel gain.

    They were good to deal with and no they didn't tell me there would be an increase, all they said was I could either keep the VGT or go back to a wastegate it didn't matter.
    I am reading right is that 55 PSI ?

    No kept VGT.
