have you tried porting your manifold? i talked to a guy that said he put an aftermarket manifold and then took it off ported it and got a 100* drop after porting it.

ok i did a leak test today and no leaks atall i have a slight leak threw the rings into the crank case but thats because the rings arent completely seated yet, im asumin it is the wastegate at this time becuse the simptons and doing everything else to check point to that im tinking it is either stuck open or the plate may be warped letting the boost threw

porting the exhaust manifold does make a slight difference in EGTs but it wont make a differance in boost levels like we are talking about with this situation

dan if you have a dremil tool get a grinding stone for it and you can port you own manifold in a night. get a case of beer crank the toons and have some fun thats how i did mine on my last manifold havent had time for this yet with building my new house

Throw some water injection on it, also is the turbo laggy? Maybe get a small set of towing twins. Also the 370' dont help the situation.

dan you can do the manifold and turbo no issue when we did my last head it was off the truck no sure how you could do it withought removing the head i wouldnt be conserned about it because there not realy shavings if you use a grinding stone more like powder
