Without us being there to physically see the truck its going to be hard to diagnose. If you dont know exactly what to look for, it might be better to take it to a tech. But like i said before, walk around with him, and have him point out everything he is looking at, and everything he is thinking. Might as well have him show you where the EGR valve is as well, and how to pull it.

It is something simple... You have a boot or a pipe that is cracked. Causing lack of boost and the whistle. Fix it soon before it becomes a bigger issue. Let us know what you find.

Are you ordering another stocker or...???

MPD has a sale on them

Innovative also sells an upgraded kit, and I believe Elite does too. They remove the stock crappy bellows and weld in some HD flex joints. Much better. I think MPD's kits are like $250 right now. I thought about ordering some for mine...

I will be ordering aftermarket. Not sure from where yet. Gotta do some research and see some reviews. He said I was good to ride a few more days with it the way it is. Loosing diesel, and power tho.

I've seen pretty much all there is to offer, I'm going to order the MPD kit, the price is too good to beat. Pretty much all of them do the same thing.

MPD is selling some really nice up-pipe kits now with their custom built exhaust manifolds up to a T4 divided housing for guys running larger charges on the T4 platform, they have their fab/welding skills down man.

Did you verify that it is indeed the y-pipe section too?

He reached his hand back there and said he felt the crack and air coming out. I trust him. He did my studs, gaskets, egr delete. But quick question. Is it normal to see some white smoke then black after leaving a stop light?
