compression testers at the autozone only run about $30

Update: Was given the name of a local shop, Best Motor Werks. They pulled off a code 0234, charge air pressure. fault at 2946.
They tested intake pressure readings at idle with no issues.
Called DT to see if it had something to do with the bypass again and they said no. So, sounds like it might be a faulty tmap, what do you all think?

These instructions are everywhere. Here's an example:

Well, I just returned home from Best Motor Werks after having them replace my tmap sensor and all codes cleared.
I am happy to report the car feels faster. It recently was feeling heavy, which I thought it was just my added weight. However, I unintentionally broke the tires loose shifting into second. Been a while sense that has snuck up on me.
I also found out my road noise is not the camber plates or bad tires alone. I have a wheel bearing going out. So, next month I am going to try and have that done too. -

Kinda late to post this - glad everything worked out without too much expense. A simple way to test spark plug wires is with a Volt-Ohm Meter. Set the VOM for Ohms to test resistance and stick one lead in one end of the spark plug wire and the other lead in the other end. Overall resistance shouldn't exceed 10,000 ohms. Wiggle the wires a bit to see if you have a broken wire. Not sure what your VOM reads if the wire is broken, but you will know. Mine goes back to zero because it is not reading anything at that point. I also look as far down inside each boot to see if there is any visible problems.

I guess you have been driving with that bad bearing for quite some time. Glad they got you squared away.
