6nz w/6999 codes dropped 1.0 MPG

Ok, since the turbo isnt overheating by the pyro showing cooler, you could run a boost wire, then disconnect the waste gate hose and put a one way valve or filter on the end of the hose. Am I putting all the information together right?

 

Loudhorn, did you notice any better power or decreased mpg with the 5232? I didnt notice any better power, thats why I went with the 6999 but lost 1 mpg. I didnt notice a difference of EGT's with 5232, but with the 6999 it will get up there and knock on 1K* on a pull, where before it would hang around 900*

 

Ok, so I am going to get a boost and fuel wire in the mail, and try that so that the ECM wont derate and then leave the waste gate hooked up since I can get 33-34psi normally. The only reason that 'I' would unhook the wastegate would be to keep the EGT lower, then just run on the pedal to keep the boost under 36. I have heard that running a boost wire adds soot to the oil, that would be the only disadvantage that I would know. Has anyone heard how much more soot it adds?

I run oil analysis on my oil every change, 12-15K, and it is for sure something that I would never stop. The lab found that I had a cam flaking off, so it was for sure worth it to me to do it everytime.

 

I am pretty sure that it derates b/c when I get on a good pull the boost will come up to like 33-34, and hang for like 2or 3 seconds, then it will fall to 30 and wont come back up. I can go to the floor and it wont go past 30, I run on the pedal in the hills most of the time, and wide open usually isnt an option, I have found that a little over half or a bit more does the same. I guess that I drive by boost more than anything else. Now big roads are a different story, just set the cruise and let it roll cause it will do just fine.
