I know what you mean by embarrassing. If I give it any significant throttle under 1900 RPM it can and will black out a 4 lane highway.

Yeah the stock turbo does spool quick, and it doesn't smoke much and will clear up fast if I roll into the throttle. WOT from idle or about 50 mph and I get a nice little cloud. Nothing like a sled-puller, but enough that I've had a few cars slow down before going through it and a couple cars swerve around the smoke.

When I do WOT in those cases, it also doesn't clear up. It stays hazy. I suspect the stock CP3 and sticks under the added pressure from 4.4 can put out a little more fuel than the stock turbo can clear up.

It would probably help too if I ran a boost fooler. As for Smarty levels, I've never run anything higher than 5, even after I got a built transmission, since I still have stock fueling. I've never run the wild program either.
