I second DieselDoghouse, I have a 3" magnaflow flow through muffler on my truck and it has a nice tone without waking up our 3 year old. I also deleted my cat from the system and exited the exaust in front of the rear tires on the pass side.
On other turbo applications, we have used a small pressure regulator from sears. It is the type that is used on paint guns. This allows you to set the boost pressure where you want it with just a turn of the knob. You can even mount it inside the cab so you can adjust it on the fly if you would...

My '96 had low idle problems to the point that it would stall when I had my 10k 5er on and I would let off the pedal quickly. Really bad when you are trying to stop for a light or a moron. My truck only takes a second to start with either idle setting, warm or cold, with no pedal.
I got lucky and found my leak before it got so bad that my truck wouldn't run like it should. I like the additional boost, Now I may be ready for a GSK, a plate and some starwheel treatment.
Thanks for the help guys, I hooked up a temporary boost gauge to the intake and found that I had about 25 psi of boost. I disconnected the wastegate and plugged the turbo outlet to the wastegate with a 1/8" NPT fitting and got around 30 psi. I was loosing 5 psi through the wastegate diaphram leak.
I did a pressure test on my wastegate to see if it was working and found that it was blowing air out of the rod opening. I do not have gauges yet, so I do not know how long this has been this way. What would be the best options for an upgraded wastegate?
