Why in God's name did you buy a turbo eliminator pipe? That kind of defeats the purpose of a "Turbo Diesel" :eyecrazy" No wonder your EGT's are so high....

Maybe I mis spoke that.It replaces the black plastic tubing in the air intake with the restrictor vanes.

from my understanding, torque is the same, maximum value from 1600 rpm to 3000 rpm. The hp, on the other hand, increases steadily all the way to 3000 rpm. When the motor has a load on it, you should keep it above the max torqe rpm (1600). Also, I think fuel ecomony will be better if you keep the rpm below 2200 while cruising.

The "sweet spot" of the new CRD 5.9 is right in the 1900 - 2100 range. That is where I try to keep my RPMs
