3. 12-15 psi backpressure at 65 seems kinda low

Could this mean a faulty MAP sensor?

could be MAP or a shorted wire OR BARO could be flakey which means PCM problems.

The one that jumps out most is the backpressure that low at that speed usually means a clogged tube and that would allow the PCM to close the EBPV all the time if the temps are <45*

Does this mean you won't have time to work on my truck? I'm putting together a bunch of links to mod goodies to send you for opinions as we speak!

Not sure but I believe that I get the same thing when I am towing my trailers. I have the 6637 and a 5" exhaust. Never heard it before those two but hear it now.... For what it is worth.

Kind of Low PSI

I just got done with a long trip pulling my 36 foot gooseneck trailer and I never run 5 psi. I was always running 15 to 27 psi. I also have a AFE intake and I always hear turbo whine not hissing. Sounds like you might have a boost leak somewhere. How old is your truck and how many miles do you have on it

I used to get this with my stock turbo and it is turbo lag. let the truck down shift and then gain some speed. the hissing will go away

that's true, it is worst when I am going slower and is gone when up to speed. How did you cure this?

i just bought this
from diesel site and located a boost leak on my wifes 01 f250. The sounds you are describing were similar to the ones i was hearing in her truck. Look for a leak (mine was going from the "y" to the drivers side intake manifold, at least the largest leak ive found so far was there)

I have an 02 with 89000 on it and it does this, but I never heard it or payed it any attention to it when I bought it, now with the 6637 I hear it, mine may be just because of the filter? I know when it changes gears it will continue to hisss until I let off the gas or when the engine seems to catch up to the mph, towing or not it does this. I have cleaned the boots that go to the intercooler pipes and rechecked all clamps I'm clueless if it's supposed to do this or If there is a leak.

That sounds kinda low to me. I had similar numbers and then found (then fixed) boost leaks - replaced all the boots, filed down the y-pipe as I have seen others here do, and put it all back together using hairspray. Now I can hit ~22lbs. when towing. (I do have a 40hp program).

After the fix my engine got a lot quieter (less hissing). Now I have noisy tires to deal with that I didn't "hear" as much as before... (I think I have a wear problem).
