Hello!!
A Banks Big Head Wastegate Actuator (https://www.ocdieselstore.com/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=1_2_72_2005&products_id=7243&osCsid=ca40477ccef4e2d2f1d4154ec4e0d0e0) will it reduce mpg or will I get higher mpg?
Is it possible to feel the differens, or is it a waste off money.

MPG is relative to your right foot's position. under light to moderate throttle i did notice increase in MPG per tank round 50 -70 more miles on mostly city driving

With a shortbed, 25 gallon fuel tank,that translates into a 2-3 mpg increase, just by installing a wastgate???? I think NOT!

I didn't notice much difference. W/ your edge you will see a boost increase. As far as spooling up faster, if it does it is not much.
