Article: Turbine Housings, Exhaust Sizing, and Back Pressure
So, bigger is better for the exhaust.This is also why compounds work to boost overall performance. The smaller turbo boost at lower engine RPM, and the larger turbo takes over at higher RPMs.

Daws Straw Problems vs Tank Sump install
When you put in the drawstraw, did you have the tank on the floor or on some sawhorses. If on the floor, you probably have about and inch or two of fuel(4-6 gallons/1/4 tank issues) that you cannot use. When you are going up or down a grade, turning a corner, etc. the straw is pulling in air. Depending on the sump that you are going to use, you can mount the sump under the drawstraw and use a longer DS to go all the way to the bottom of the sump. This willl keep the end of the drawstraw covered, not allowing your lift pump to suck air, also eliminating the chance that you will have any insurance coverage problems or D.O.T. problems. I looked at the Hellman Sump, and saw that this attaches to the bottom of the tank and has a outlet for fuel at the side. This would only give the lift pump added benefit if the tank is full, as the liquids would go to the same level. They also state that this can be used on all vehicles. HTH

Aerodynamic Mods?
Anything to make the wind/air go around/over, not thru, will help. Better MPG through aerodynamics.

You need to do an APPS RESET. Also, you need to start looking into getting a new APPS, Timbo APPS are generally used by most on the sites.

High idle with the 6speed manual trany?
The mechanic does not know what he is saying. I have a '01 with 6 speed and the high idle and 3 cylinder idle work just fine.

Post guage install BOISE,
Putting in the gauges are very easy. If you have a little mechanical and electrical aptitude, you can do it easily enough. Just ask questions here and follow the instructions.

ISX: Wanna come to Virginia for a weekend?
Add anywhere between 200* to 300* to your EGT for your newer readings. You are using lots of fuel. You might think about going to a bigger tire to get a better ratio.
