Mark...with the EGR valve unplugged, what should I expect when I crank it up...what will this tell me? And I'm sorry to ask something that has been explained already, but if the EGR valve isn't functioning properly...what does this do to possibly cause what I experience...no load and with load....overall performance is horrible compared to other stocks.

Also...I'm really really feeling like this isn't an engine power issue...but maybe something else....I get plenty of RPM's, boost, etc.....but increased throttle just isn't translating that engine roar into a lower gear and forward acceleration...at least not until I go WOT....only then do you feel it push you in the seat and scoot down the road. This is exagerated when towing a load (7500lbs).....in that case, I have to go to the floor earlier to get accelerated response. Could this thing need a re-flash?
