Too much HP.

My truck fly's with the mp8 on 75%+ but then again its only paired with a Smarty.

It seem's that when used with a TST it runs better at 50% and under, since its just too much going on between 3 boxes like a BDDL/JA/Smarty-TST-MP8

With a rail pressure gauge...you can dial in the right amount of pressure (~25ksi)...and not to much! The MP-8 is an awesome pressure box...but don't go to overboard or you will pop relief valves and damage injectors long before you have turbo problems!

My relief valve sarted leakin with the quad.
Ramble bee, I know who you tallked too, I talked to him too, believe cquestad he told me the same before I had my rail guage and now I have seen the proof to back up his statement.

cquestad, you heard anything from Doug about those sweeper motors or what ever the problem was?

Now that I think about it I may shoot him an email.

TS told me to turn it 100% with my Crazy Larry and it would out power any TST stack....tried it once and threw a CEL...as well as having other problems.

SOLD both of my MP8's today.

Too bad...if you monitored your rail pressure...you could have dialed in a better stack.

TS is a wonderfull crew...but I disagree with their opinion about what is usable. Over 50% on the MP-8 is kinda no man's land...without a rail cap.


My DiProcal has been working fine other than one weird act up...

I have not heard any other news...

Somebody should bug Doug. He knows all.

My MP-8 blew 3 literally BRAND NEW injectors worse than Don had ever seen in the span of about 1 hour of driving on 100%!

D,

That is a great fact...BUT,

You chould have never ran it that way with a modded cp3. It is kinda like the guns don't kill people...people kill people arguement.

MP-8's do not kill injectors...people with MP-8's on the wrong settings kill injectors.

From their FAQ section on their website.


"This module is a Plug and Play. The Mp-8 produces 100+ hp and only takes minutes to install.

Question: What is the max fuel pressure that the MP-8 will produce?

Answer: The TS Performance MP-8 does not exceed 26,000 psi of fuel rail pressure. The factory fuel rail pressure can be ran 29,000 all day long and not damage anything. ( That info came direct from BOSCH)."

Just thought this was interesting.

Not sure how this is affected by stacking with other chips.

That is interesting, but that is with a stock cp3, Im guessing with a modded cp3 you can get much higher spikes. I would like to add a pressure box but after reading around, seems you have to be very carefull with a pressure box modded cp3, and injectors. So what to do????

I totally agree. I didn't mean to run it on 100%. The dial read about 5-15% all the time but it was stuck internally on 100%, hence the problem!
