So, I installed the new thermostat's. Both the hotter cooling system sensor and the air box sensor.
The airbox temp has been much cooler, 48-54df. It stays much more consistent. It does not go up above 100df anymore! Who knows what the effect will be on fuel economy. I'll know that more in the next few days.
Also:
Tore apart what I think is part of the wastegate actuator. It was located on my Mitsu turbo on the front. It has a vacuum line coming from the manifold. It is just above the wastegate actuator. It looks just like an EGR valve from a GMC I own. It was sticking, not horrible, but obviously not functioning as intended. After a good cleaning with a rag and some q-tips, it moves freely. The diaphram that moves it does not leak. Adding vacuum to the hose will keep it open.
I'm hoping this will help the problem.
I finally got rid of all of the clips holding the intake hoses to the clamps. Found one hose that was a little mangled at the clamp end. I cut it shorter, and life is good for now.

I'll give an update when I get the new MPG's.
