What does your boost #'s look like, sounds like a boost leak. Are you blowin' black smoke more than normal?

Your vavle may be stuck closed. I think you can move the connector rod by hand.

FWIW when mine stuck partially shut, it was middle of June. Seemed to happen all at once. I also had quite a bit of white smoke, both at idle and mild throttle.

OK.

Are you only getting the hissing when the engine is cold and at light throttle or does it happen even after the engine warms up? Sorry for all thwe questions - just trying to vision the situation better.

even when its warm, if it did it while it was cold I could handle it, but when Ive been driving for an hour at highway speeds and then go slow thru town and it starts doin it and I have no throttle response it makes me mad....and if it is stuck shut then what?

It almost sounds like it's still working. You said you unplugged what you think is the EBPV...what exactly did you unplug?

Yeah crackhead, check the plug thats at the front of the turbo pedestal below and between the front of the two turbo housings. It's probably still plugged in.

the plug you pull should be just above the blue dot in this pic..just under the turbo...it has a wire clip that locks the plug in place..flip the clip back and pull the plug out..
