Ran AE while driving to the airport today. Exhaust back pressure absolute was always 14-18 higher than exhaust back pressure desired. Exhaust back pressure absolute was running the same as SG II (ran SG II before running AE, I know not safe to switch while driving, but OH WELL). Also, exhaust back pressure on AE ran at ~2.5 V while at cruising speed.

FYI - These tests were ran while at 2000 RPMs going down the interstate.

so actual EBP was 14-18 PSI higher than desired EBP

Thats A BIG Diffrence if Im understanding it right thats Huge Diff

Replaced the oil pressure switch tonight. I noticed while taking apart the intake that EVERY clamp was loose. So loose that I could spin the screws with my fingers. Even the one at the turbo was loose. I really don't know how it hadn't came apart.

Anyhow, changed the oil pressure switch and reinstalled the intake making sure to tighten all the clamps. Truck seemed to run a lot better. Turbo seemed to whistle like it used to and seemed to accelerate and run much smoother. Would the loose clamps cause the shuddering issues I was having?

Yeah, seemed BIG to me too. The EBP was in absolute though. Does that mean I should subtract atmospheric pressure from it's reading?

I guess EBP desired is something new for me. I don't remember seeing that on my previous version of AE but then I wouldn't have looked for it either. EBP, MAP, and BARO should be checked at KOEO and be within .5 psi of each other. EBP running is going to vary with boost. I guess EBP desired is something the PCM is trying to control to maintain a particular boost level.
