sorry, maybe I should start my own thread,
I was told that SES was not caused by boost, it's the HPOP not keeping up with what the injectors want. That was told to me by Cody, mine comes on if I romp it good. I've seen 28-30 on my boost gauge.

I was wondering about that possibility, my e99 only has a 15°hpop.

Yea I'm keeping an eye out for a HPOP so I can send it to Joey at Terminator. He rebuilds them & works some magic with it. Funny ain't it Get chip, then HPOP, then Injectors, etc, etc

Default turbo master

I have the turbomaster wate gate controller and it is adjusted to not allow the gate to open at all. It may have helped low end power. I have a pressure regulater on my map sensor line. All of this was a waste of money. Even with my 100 hp performance tune I stay under 24 psi. I don't know how others get such high boost but it sounds like it would be a bad thing with the stock turbo anyway. By the way the ATS turbo housing was the best thing I could have done to get rid of bad noise.

Save your money on the bellow up pipes. I spoke to a powerstroke mechanic about that. He pulls the upper pipe housing off replaces the seals then he takes the metal hold down piece and shave 20 thousandth off of them. He he says he clamps down really hard on the seals and they won't leak.

That's a temporary solution at best.
The up-pipes expand and contract with engine operation and that will eventually wear out the seals.
The bellowed pipes eliminate that wear point.
They will not develope any leaks whatsoever during the entire service life.
