I should have said that you will get some boost back that you have lost due to your EBP Sensor being plugged up. I hope you didn't rough up the sensor while it was out. I still have to replace my tube. I lot of the time spent on my truck is cleaning everything that has been getting dirty from the oil leaks. I have fixed the oil leaks and done the CCV mod so I should only have to wash er up once in a while now.

Make sure the green connector is fully seated and no broken wires on the front of your spider. This green electrical connector would be connected to the valve/solenoid on the front of the spider. Check really well for any broken wires. Is your electrical connector unplugged? If so then plug it back in or if you have it disconnected then you will be needing a 470 ohm 1 watt resistor to keep the code from being set. I have the resistors. Let us know if you are keeping this connector plugged in or not? It controls the signal to that red line on your turbo. That little valve/solenoid could have failed also.

I actually had to go look at my eng and see if there is anything else to look at. The only other thing I can think of is, maybe the sensor that the red and green hose connects into one the intake is bad. How does the truck run? Any loss of power?
