Mekanic...oh wow! Yea, I thought those numbers seemed a bit high. What I did was drill a hole in the exhaust right before the muffler and tapped a 0-15 PSI (not PSIG) pressure gauge into it. I did not see an o2 sensor or EBP sensor between the muffler and the turbo outlet, which is why I had to machine my own port. The reason I did that is because the live data I was getting from my scanner regarding exhaust back pressure did not make any sense. Barometric pressure scanned just above 14, and we are at sea level so that's about right.
And yes, this is me measuring after the turbo, just before the muffler.
I know I said I was going to do some tests and post data around noon but I came into work late today so I could look at a vehicle. I'm going to inspect the parts inside the fuel filter housing now. Unfortunately I probably won't get to making a hose that reaches from the fuel pressure test port at the rail until tomorrow. I ordered the muffler already, will be getting it in tomorrow morning.
Thanks again! How can I repay you? No, I'm serious...I've been given such great info here, and I want to show my appreciation. Post again tomorrow.
