No worries. In the near future I plan to reseal the exhaust from the block to the turbo and more than likely replacing the turbo anyway.
Funny how you can spend damn near a year researching, reading, and watching everything you could find on a specific job. Then come to find out after the job there was something else you should have done.
I have leaks around the exhaust manifold to block. Have a small seepage in the up pipe to manifold. I stoned the exhaust manifold during the h/g job. I torqued EVERTHING when putting the engine back together.
A few things I wish I've done differently, replace the lifters, used gaskets for the manifolds, I did have the valves done but still wish I went with 6.4 pushrods. To me those sound critical but didn't learn about the issues that could happen if not addressed.

Hm, that’s odd. Wish I could be more help. It would seem to me if the turbo was stuck it would boost too high pretty quick under normal driving. I haven’t used it but there is an inspection port (plug) for the VGT linkage on the turbo housing. Might check for freedom of movement there.
Im still suspicious those EBP numbers are not accurate. To make much boost it needs something for the air to push against. With the straight pipe exhaust there just isn’t much there.
