You will also having higher EGT's, especially if it really lets go. If it gets a lot worse, don't drive it at all.
Not driving it at all really. Its about 6 miles to my mechanic so I'm not worried about it. Thought about doing it myself but its a busy time of the year for us. Besides its time for its annual stuff.
I'll post how it goes, and how expensive it was.
Curious though, I understand the rest of the symptoms but don't quite understand exhaust gas temps going up. Is it an unburned fuel thing???. Thanks in advance for the explanation. I like learning this stuff.

Yea, you loose too much turbo drive pressure and the boost goes down but the engine is still getting the same amount of fuel. So the EGT's go up a lot.
Good luck on the repair. It's such a common thing with those engines, I wonder if the replacement part is improved?
