Up threw the Adelaide hills is a huge test imo..
Rock solid in 5th at 100kmh.
Sat on 400-420c.
Only saw 450c when accelerating from 90 back to 100k after the tunnels..
Even had pedal to spare..
Do want to go back another psi and then invest in a good needle valve to bring the cruse boost down a bit.. atm is floats around 15-17psi while cruzing at 110kmh..
But sits around 220-270c while cruzing at 110..
But happy days..
Is yours a manual or auto,?? if its an auto if you knock it
out of overdrive the revs go up the EGTs go down
04 ST 3lt auto, not enough Mods to keep me happy, but getting there

Manual..
It's funny though as TPC is the 3rd or 4th who says they have no over spooling issues with 3" and egr blocked. .
All with autos..

Yours isn't exactly blocked though. Did you have it blocked completely prior to the hole being drilled in it?

No, was drilled from the start.
I had thought that EGR block would not cause limp mode, only would give a fault code that would need resetting.

Egr allows the exhaust gas to go somewhere else other than the turbo. So when it is completely blocked all the gas goes through the turbo this can make them respond a little better. Yes its overboosting but it may only be at that setpoint in the ecu. You may get away with 20psi but it will have to be beyond say 2400rpm. Unfortunately all these ecus and vehicles arent exactly the same so you do end up with some that will fault at lower psi while others can be pushed to even beyond 20psi without issue.

Stop overthinking it. You have the tools to tune the boost and spool up now. It just might need some more fine tuning.

Yea absolutely..
Just really weird how some do and others don't. .
Any negatives at running 17 psi? ?
Garret says efficiency runs out at 19psi..
But can stock internals handle that boost??
Might grab a zd and rebuild it..
Mod a few bits like ceramic and tyflon the pistons, work the head a bit lol..
Ow wifie would love that.. haha..

As an example I think Kevin07's was good for 16PSI yet Mudski and myself can achieve 20-25 with no dramas
I'm in the process of reducing my boost so its 12psi @ 100kph and leave it at that lol.
My boost is all over the place atm since I change where I get the boost from. easy enough to sort IMO
Would you really notice any difference on a CRD dialled in at 17psi compared to 19 psi.lol
