Default Hey fellas!

I'm new to this forum stuff and just would like to introduce my truck and I. She's an '02 Dodge Cummins 4x4 6speed with 204,000 miles. I bought it new so we've been together a while. Modifications include; modified stock air box with K&N filter, Raptor 100 lift pump, Hypertech power programmer, 4" MBRP exhaust with no muffler, 5"x18" exhaust tip, Autometer pyro and boost gauges mounted on A pillar. I recently plugged the wastegate inlet hose and achieving 27psi of boost. That's up 7psi from before. I am also trying the 2cycle oil thing. I hope these are sensible for a daily driver. I'm looking for input on these latter two ideas and anymore low-budget and safe upgrades. Thanks!

Having the wastegate plugged is OK as long as you stay under 30# of boost. As for the 2 stroke, it's just fine as long as you use the synthetic ashless type oil. Your VP44 will thank you for it!
