Much Better

Ended up taking the canister end of my wastegate off cause i couldnt get that stinkin C clip off the rod end, got that rod shortened up and my truck runs much better now,very noticable difference, amazing the difference 5lbs of boost makes. Now my boost will hit 25lbs like it used too. . Either i am lonely without my tuner or my truck seems to really run well with just straight exhaust,6637 filter,unplugged wategate and HPX. Huge difference from stock for sure..! Thanx again for ya'lls help on shortening that rod,,Too bad those guys at the dealer dont know to set it right the first time.
Now if i could just convince myself to do those intank mods

You'll probably see an increase in fuel economy too.
