I even tried flooring it up the hill in 5Th while dragging the brakes. I had to give up on that idea when I noticed how hot and stinking the brakes got.
Drive with the exhaust brake on...that flexes the vanes...Short bursts of acceleration are also effective...Keep your rpms up while driving...45 mph in 4Th...When you release the accelerator...the exhaust brake will pull more boost and flex the vanes...Gear down as you are coming to a stop....Same principle
