gate

It is kind of nice with less Knock just wondering how it could be connected and what else I might have wrong. It is less noisy through the whole RPM range. I think it sounds like it did when it was new on a warm day only it has 120K miles and it is cold out. I get to 50 MPH and it sounds like a gasser and it's running 1400 RPM in over drive. I have no boost gauge so I don't know where it is at on boost. Could the waste gate be stuck open or something. I tried to turn it by hand when I did the disconnect and it wouldn't move. It seems to have the standard non modded 7.3 power. Throttle response from a dead stop seems a little better with the gate red line plugged.
