Mine runs around 27 at warm operating temps and cruising speeds.
Zoom in to see lowest and highest values.

What year is the truck?
The early builds use an inferred value IIRC.

Yep...and you will know if it's bad on the later models. It will run horrible, will turbo fart, won't get to speed..you'll almost think it's a tranny problem.

Cleaning the sensor on the early build won't do much then, since it's an inferred value at the PCM.
IIRC the only way the EBP sensor will mess up an early build is if it shorts to ground or loses VREF.........someone else correct me if I am wrong please.

When is the last time the turbo was cleaned?
Checked all the boots and hoses for leaks?
Same for each and every exhaust connection from the manifolds all the way up to the y pipe collector?
Pulled the MAP hose off and cleaned the nipple on the intake? Hose itself is ok and not cracked?

That is the way I understand it, unless the flash update (came out in May of 2006) was never applied.

Do you have two profiles?
Based on the turbo "sounding rough", I think you have probably found a problem.
