Turbo Lag

Turbo Lag
Hey, all-
I searched (quickly), but found no answer to this question:
Can I eliminate or reduce turbo lag without using a tuner?
The EGR disconnect works great, but not much on the bottom end, just mid-range power.
By the way, my first trailer haul over the SoCal mountains from San Diego to the Imperial Valley (6800' +/- a foot or two) of elevation change over 80 miles was a walk in the park! The MPG's took it on the chin, but I had power like MAD!!

My Q:
My truck is a ’03 6.0 PSD F350, but I don’t know if it has a throttle body under the elbow… Will that make a difference if it does?
Aaron's A:
If it is an ’03, it ‘should’ have the throttle body under there... FYI- I sent one guy a newer elbow [05-07] yesterday for his older truck with the throttle body. He removed the throttle body (easy 4 bolts), and is going to install the 05-07 elbow, which will bolt right up. He has an SCT tuner that doesn’t run the throttle body (it stays open), so he just unplugged the wires and it didn’t give any trouble codes. The reason I say this is because the 05-07 elbow is a little bit better, especially since the throttle body gets removed.
My Q:
OK, I’ll have a look at it. BTW, I don’t run a tuner. At the stock configuration, Is the PCM going to have an issue with my removing the throttle body/unplugging it? Erroneous codes are a drag!
Aaron's A:
I’m not sure if it will give a code or not with your truck being stock. If you are interested in the newer elbow, try unhooking the wires to the throttle body and see if it gives a code.
I don't see anything on ford-trucks.com about removing the throttle body on a PSD, only the throttle plate. Can anyone shed some light on this for me?
