DOes TQ Management give you more fuel early in the RPMs so that you can get an auto moving? Is that why 6-speeds don't need it since we can rev higher and slip the clutch a little before we get going?

But I think you have more issues than just water, I mean we have close to the same setup right? But I have a big single and Bully Dog programming. I swear I have pulled 20k on crz lar and I will barly nudge 1400 on performance it rarly goes to 1300 and if it does I just run 2500 rpm's and it stays there.

Well it depends, on long steep climbs I can pull through it in 6th if I am haulin butt like 85mph to 90mph but I dont like to go that fast but that is where my rpm's (2300-2600) need to be to keep egt around 1300 in 6th, But if I run 5th gear I will go 65mph to 70mph and my rpm's will be right around 2400 and boost will stay at 30psi. We should be close due to our geering and the 22.5.

That sounds exactly like my RPM situation. I wonder if my air intake is clogged or if something is not functioning to it's full potential becuase I never had this problem before.

That should be nice and than all you need is some you know some of those old man turbos. Ya my buddy makes 78 pounds without a cp3 no surge and never goes above 1000 egt but that is with no trailer, but i am sure you got that figured out there buddy.
