if you're going to plug your wastegate, put a drive pressure gauge on the truck and watch it shoot up. your HG will be much happier if you dont plug it.

I never put a gauge on to see if it was true but read somewhere that with the gate blocked and 40lbs boost drive pressure was around 70-90lbs. Makes ya think twice about blocking it off don't it.

yeah, thats WAY too high. id rather run the wastegate and even drill it out to keep DP down even for a loss of boost. helps the engine run more efficient.
