sounds like some weird wastegate control system......ive never heard of such a thing on our 6.5LTD's.... We just have a vacuum pump, then a solenoid that regulates the vacuum going to the WG actuator. The more sucky the more the WG is held shut and the more boost is provided. :D

I think what you may be refering to is the ball that is put in the vacuum line to the waste gate contol when installing a Heath Turbo Master. Yes when a Turbo master is installed you will see an improvement in power.

You can put the vac line from the pump to the turbo without the solenoid if you have a resister on the MAP circuit. Your average boost will be 5-6 psi on the highway if you take it easy on the pedal. WOT will give you 15+ psi.Edited by: quantum mechanic
