Shouldn't be building any more boost, hopefully. I just want to keep the EGT's down going over Colorado's little hills. I am modifying the stock wastegate controller to work on the HX40 as well.

The Turbo on the 6.5's is tiny. At sustained RPM's the turbo becomes like a restriction in the exhaust which builds heat. An intercooler, and WMI are in the works, just not the budget at the moment as well.
