A little more info: I was only looking at my 1st file where I saw both VGT at 85% and 15% (latter several times). The 85% looks to be around the time I reset the CEL faults and I never saw those high of numbers again, in either file.
The 15% ones look to all be around when I was really romping on it and mostly either after a shift or when I chopped the throttle.
Then after my lunch stop I had a mostly down hill run back home, lowest VGT % was in high 30s and highest was like 76%...
Turbo whistle sounded very normal: changing with any throttle change, etc.
Maybe I'm making myself more paranoid....

I may take the truck down to my folks and do the same logging and see what I get -- it's a 2 hour trip each way...
I assume since my truck is out of warranty, I can't go in to Ford and ask them to perform the TSB, right?

I think they would charge $100 to flash it.
I did a video on 18 gauges while doing multiple wot runs for each group of gauges.
At 2 minutes in the video you will see me kick my vgt down to 14.

Yes it does, thanks Randy 
I'm still wondering how much hunting at idle mustang_309 was getting...
Bottom line is the truck needs to get driven more regularly!
Thanks guys

The hunting at idle wasn't as pronounced as it was stead state driving at say 65 MPH. sometimes the VGT% at hot idle would start at 70 to 85 % and slowly drift down to the low 60's. While driving stead state at freeway speed it would hunt from 45 to 60% or so, when I first got the truck it would vary from 50 to maybe 55%.
