Disable Wategate Actuator ?

I have been told by another PSD owner that I should remove and plug the small vaccum line that goes to my wastegate actuator for a cheap HP increase. Is this right? Is there a downside? What about fuel milage?

You should ask the question in the 7.3 engine forum for a better answer.

There's a forum for darn near everything related to a Ford truck.

Explore them all, and best of luck!
