I was also disappointed in how it towed. It seemed to climb in EGTs despite no leaks and the RiffRaff wheel. I thought it pulled pretty weak and was kinda mad at the truck. I then noticed that my wastegate line was plugged in. I had unplugged it when I installed the hydra. I'm thinking mu buddy helping me tinker with it, just plugged it in not thinking anything of it. I never noticed because I'm never really pushing the truck hard. Well I for sure noticed a difference towing. I use to not be able to pull small hills without having to downshift or let out because the temps climbed. Now I found myself going from my 65t to 80t tune and not having to slow down. I was always getting 10lbs at 1600, but only 12-14 at 2-2.5k. Now I'm getting 18-20 at 2k and 25 around 2500. YUGE difference.

Yep I should have done that when the turbo was out. I missed that step. I tried to get that nut off and pull the wastegate without taking the thing apart, but failed.
