Did it . . .
Yes, can tell you it seems to be working. I have done so many mods at one time I can't give you a specific answer. My SCT Xcal tuner guy recommended it based on what he had seen on the dyno tests.
Here is the install of it in from my gallery, I got the polished one.

Another thing I've seen is the TAG(Turbine Air Guide) which is supposed to straighten out air flow at the turbine inlet, changing it from a swirling pattern to a straight(laminar flow) pattern. This is claimed to allow more air into the turbo for higher density.
I looked at one site and these elbows are about $160-180 depending if you want polished or not. The TAG is about $100 for the 6.0 PSD. I'd be interested in what kind of economy increase(MPG) either of these gives, if someone who has them installed would be so kind as to report real world results.

They got 9.33 hp and 17.63 lb-ft at the peaks. It was a stock '06 F-350 6.0 dually. They said it averaged 5-10 hp and 5-15 lb-ft from just off idle to 4,000 rpm. I might just have to buy one of those as my first real power modification.

I see an exhaust and tuner in your future.
PLEASE keep us posted on your results. I don't know of any other trucks running the APE without any other mods. Hey that's a cool mod name.................

I just got one. The problem is that it had the boost port at the base, right next to where the EGR is. So I called Accufab and I have to send it back to them and they will send me a replacement with the boost Port located in a better place. So I guess I am waiting a couple more weeks to find out if it is any good.
