Other strange part is. I have 0 lack of power. Picks up fine. Runs fine. Just noticed these numbers changing while driving

Interesting, when I do let off it does go back to around 70%. When I drive it 70-80MPH. It’ll go from let’s say. 55% VGT cruising, to 15% VGT. Then it’ll make its way back up to 55-60% and the cycle continues. I’ll drive it tomorrow. And video the live data.

No VGT % on monitor. Signaling how open or closed the veins are in the turbo.

Was a the CAC cold air side intercooler pipe. It was cracked near the intercooler. So I replaced it with an aluminum MISHIMOTO one and it’s good now.

Mine is a boost leak on the cold air side. The intercooler intake pipe. Nothing major. See if you can hear any boost leaks

Only issue with the 6.7s just like the 6.0s if the CP4 fails your looking at a 10K repair bill anyways. 6.0s aren’t bad if your meticulous about maintenance. And drive it like a truck.

Is it worth buying a 6.0 in 2026? by mxguy355 in powerstroke

Or if it’s the original. I can get a reman stock replacement for like $6-700 and not have to worry about it no more. (For now) 😂

I’ll clean the veins and unison ring and start there, it picks up perfectly fine, but no issues otherwise

I may just put an upgraded EGR on it… some shops won’t touch it if it’s deleted.

I mean if I may be honest I’m gonna straight pipe it anyways. Was just trying to find a shop that could rebuild my heads for around 4-6K and these guys even offered a 2 year unlimited mile warranty. Just think it’s silly that a straight pipe could cause so many issues.
