tried that,, did u try the new stype icp sensor?

Did you say you still only get 15psi with the wastegate opened and no power gain? I ran mine with the red line off until I got a sqeaking noise betwen shifts. Sounded like pinching the neck of a balloon. I'm assuming it was a boot leaking and have yet to fix that issue either. I think I felt more power with the red line off, but who knows.
I need to get gauges so I can offer some real data.
I have a nice puddle in my valley, but am assuming it's from a leaky boot. I see no other source. If there's a puddle in the valley, does it look like a rear main leak from the bottom, or is my rear main out as well?
Like I said before, I may have lost power.......but my truck doesn't feel like its going to break every time I get on it anymore. That's why I have not been too concerned. My fuel economy is still improved from before the 10K mod so I'm assuming it's doing something right.

I ran one for two years before I knew any better.
I have talked with Bully Dog tech extensively about this. Thier answer was- "we only adjust the timing of the injection event, we do not add more fuel. that is why we advertise that the BullyDog programs are the lowest EGT programs out there." When I asked if they would add some custom tunes to my power pup I was told-" we consider the 7.3 dead technology and no longer update tuning for that motor."
I called DP within the hour, and you just dont understand the difference. The 120bullpuppy, is about equal to my 60Tow DP program.
forget the ICP, it is fine. It is the tuning you are using.

Back when I bought the turd from e-bay I put the old one back in and it ran like a bat out of hell. The new Ford ICP de-tuned the truck so I swapped back AGAIN and still ran great with the old one. I got sick of knowing it was "going to go bad", so I put the new one from Ford in and left it. Like I have said before....with the original ICP in it felt like I was going to lose the tranny with every shift. I don't mind that feeling going away even if I can't break the tires loose now.
