dieselstroke it's just not possible, it must be something else, the engine would be turning the same rpm, the same amount of fuel and timing but the extra boost could only run cooler. Anything under 40psi or so runs cooler, there becomes a point where the boost will get so high it will start bringing on heat, but again thats way up there! Might wantto give it another try, you sure you pulled the right line (hate to ask)

I'm not kidding, it did run hot & lose mileage. I'm pretty sure it was the right line,
it's the one that has a 90 degree elbow, the elbow's rubber & connects onto a
little stub on the wastegate silinoid, correct?

The power was great, but ya know when its running 800-850 @ 70 miles an hour
with no load, somethings not right.

cookie88, I think after work tomorrow I am going to disconnect (may disconnect it
in the morning?) I will record all the spec's and see what ya think, if u don't mind?
Uhm it wasnt really that much, seems like 15 was as high as i saw. It really did push
much boost til i got into the hills. it runs 5 psi unhooked doing 70 now just fyi.
