Maby one of these links below will give you what your looking for. IMHO is a bad idea. I looked into it once too, and decided not to do it.

I wish it had never been posted here. It's an extremely bad thing for your turbo and (I don't want to sound like a tree hugger here) the environment. It turns off the VGT solenoid to make your truck smoke. NOT KEWL!!!!!! It will also cause you extremely HIGH EGT's very quickly because basically your turbo isn't working (at least correctly).

Do not do it. Put your interest in other aspects of the truck.

Doesn't sound cool, not looking to do potential harm to the truck. Just wondering what was meant by it. A friend hooked his windshield washer line into his exhaust whne we were kids and filled the bottle with ATF. When ever he got a tailgater he just hit the windshield washer and smokked them out. Pretty funny then.

I tryed it once went home took the switch out, fixed the wire I spliced it into. Won't be trying that again.

This is what I ended up with
