the driveability issue with the EZ/SMARTY stack was really bugging me, so I disconnected the Rail Pressure Sensor on the EZ side. The smooth throttle input is back. So the EZ even in the off state is still jacking with the rail pressure. I noticed the extra amount of black smoke I got compared to running the SMARTY by itself.
So the only thing the EZ is doing now is boost fooling.

I'm not suggesting you 're having any issues or you need to upgrade, but software 309D205B(which I think does boost fooling since it's for an aftermarket turbo) has solved all my problems(except EGTs of course). I have as much or more smoke than before and the flat spot in the upper RPM range is gone. Just an FYI as I see your using the EZ for boost fooling only.

I know. Just seeing if external boost fooling makes any difference with our HO's running earlier versions of the SMARTY.
So far I'm still seeing 32psi. Will need a better run to check the EGTs.

Just installed mine. I am only seeing 32 psi also. Compared to 45psi with my TST and a external boost fooler. It seems to faster than the TST though. Expically from 0 to 60. Probably about the same from 60 on. I dont have the new version of the Smarty. It did not give me the option to choose a torque managment level. I first loaded level 7 and EGT's hit 1600 around 90mph starting from a stop. And had some TC slippage. So I then loaded level 5. It hit around 1500EGT at about the time the speed limiter hit. I did get some timing knock with my TC lock up switch on letting it lug at around 1000 rpm, and about 1/4 throttle....with a LOT of smoke
Anyway, I will stop for now. Should I download the new program or not? I have to get a USB cable. I feel they should include one with it.

On my 03 I can peg both my 35 PSI gauge and my 1600* pyro, only on a really hard pull from 0-110mph. Level 7 software 309D205B. No other fueling boxes, just the Smarty
I love it, but my turbo hates it...

Ok, this is interesting. With the EZ setup for boost fooling only I had a hard time getting the EGTs past 1100 degrees with the SMARTY on level 5. And this is towing about 3k lbs. Before the addition of the boost fooling I could easily get the EGTs to 1250 and higher. Also pickup a few more psi of boost, think I maybe maxing out the Westach gauge (35psi).
