Does your truck smoke after turbo spools? how much boost are you making?

what kind of rail pressure do you see at WOT?

U need to get rail pressure issue fixed. Most aftermarket injectors work better at 25k or 26k. Dump the quad and get a mp8 or tst

You're also 10-15lbs down on boost. You should be 40+.

With the fuel you have you should have no problem spooling that turbo 40-50lbs.Is 30 all the boost you have ever seen out of it?I would be adjusting the wastegate or checking for boost leaks.I don't understand why you have no smoke.You should be able to black out intersections.

Side note: I see you are running a Mac intake.Please tell me your not running their junky filter that comes with it!I run one from them also but put an Amsoil filter on it.The Mac filter is about as good as running a fishing net.

With the ice storm our internet has been spotty. I tried to get on here yesterday and reply on the other threads, but it was sooo frustrating, I gave up.

Anyway, I dont think the injectors are the issue. Something is not right on the truck, but as always, I am more than willing to check em out for you.

Have you tried ditching the Quad and set the SMARTY to rail pressure 3?

IF I TURN THE SMARTY ON AND THE QUAD UP A LITTLE I CAN BOOST 45++..

I WAS TALKING ABOUT THE SMARTY AND THE QUAD OFF AND JUST THE INJECTORS ONLY

IT AINT MY TURBO..CAUSE WHEN I TURN MY SMARTY AND QUAD UP LOOK OUT I CAN BLOW SOME SMOKE...BOOST IS WAY UP THERE AT 40+++ RAIL PRESSURE IS AT 26,500..AND GOOD SMOKE......

WHAT I WAS SAYING EARLIER,I WAS TALKING ABOUT INJECTORS ALONE

IF I GO AHEAD AND PULL EM AND SEND THEM TO YOU..CAN YOU LOOK AT THEM ASAP???
I TALKED TO JOHN AND HE WAS GONNA CALL YOU TODAY ABOUT THEM..WITH MY MODDS AND TURBO WHATS THE BIGGEST FLUX YOU WOULD RECCOMMEND ME GOING WITH???

no i was talking injectors alone...it will boost 45 if you turn the smarty and quad up...and i can smoke out and intersection...i used to see 50 out of it when i had the TST..but it seems the smarty dont quite boost what the TST does

Ken,

Here is a suggestion. Even with no electronics or boxes you should be seening 23k plus PR. I personally feel you have a problem with the injection pump. Have that CP3 checked out. It could be a bad FCA. Cap the rail and test to see what the RP pressure is in case you have a bad HPRV.

Like Mudder500 said....adress the RP issue first! No fuel no power!!

when you turn all the electronics off the ecm is only sending what stock ecm programming would send and there isnt enough to spool the charger you will loose power by taking the electronics off.
