As the title says the turbo is in, took me a little longer than expected but its done. The truck runs phenomenal but I'm getting an overboost code. I did instal the fooler that came with the turbo. Do I need something else to stop this.

 

How much worse is the lag? And when the does boost come one and how much boost you seeing?

 

There are 2 types of boost foolers. The one you have connects to where the electronic wastegate hooked up and is necessary so the computer thinks the wastegate is working even though nothing is hooked to it. You will need a boost fooler which hooks up to your MAP sensor so the ECM never sees boost over the limits set in the computer. Quadzilla sells the most popular one in the forums and all their power modules come with one built in. The edge juice also provides boost fooling and I think the Edge does too. You might as well get a power adder for a few extra bucks that has a boost fooler built in instead of just spending $80.00 on a unit that just boost fools. With that new turbo you need more fuel anyway. Good luck, Tom J.

 

it really doesn't lag that much, I'll get the numbers as far as boost and spool point to you tonight. Is the SMARTY not enough fuel?

 

On my drive home, i played around. In overdrive the turbo starts building boost around 1500 rpms. The turbo lights and really takes off around 1900 rpms and 8 to 10 lbs. of boost. I hit 44lbs. of boost twice, but didnt try any harder, seeing i was not on a closed course. I guess i'm going to look in to the quad boost fooler, since my trans will hate me if i get another programmer.

What are other options for programmers that offer boost fooling?

 

Did you change the setting on your Smarty to aftermarket turbo? That should allow you to run whatever boost you want. The Smarty is plenty enough fuel to light that 62. I can light my SPS62 just fine with bone stock fueling.

 

No, I'm still using the standard 4.11 tune. I didn't get a chance to download the other 4.11 tunes before revo was posted. I haven't really wanted try revo yet,( to much time to spend testing, which I don't have at the current time).

 

What are you referring to when you say aftermarket turbo settings, are you just referring to the 4.11? Would there be an aftermarket turbo setting for the revo non tnt?

 

Did your egt's go up just cruzing down the road compared to the stock turbo?

 

When you change your wastegate setting change it to aftermarket and it will allow you to run all the boost your turbo can make.

 

Not really, cruizing at 75 right now and she is sitting 650*.

 

So did your egt's go down at wot? How much egt's drop did you see over all .have you towed with it yeat?

 

just installed my silver 62 also,but havent towed yet, with my 90hp nozzles and smarty on 30hp tune i could get over 1400 and same tune w/ new turbo with mp-8 turned up also cant get up to 1100! im impressed with the egts,
but the install was not impressive. the wastegate actuator hose kinked against the block and all i could do was turn it 180 and then it interfered with the oil drain,bent them both just enough to clear.

 

I have a question, did all of yall that put new turbos on notice any difference in the way yalls trucks sounded as far as idle and on the throttle?

 

I love my silver 62. Slightly slower spooling but when it lights the tires do too. Ran aftermarket turbo tune but still got codes so I got a quad boost fooler and it stopped but still only seeing 40lbs of boost.
