I can lend you a spare CP and rail for you to try. Free stuff is better than buying stuff. Can throw it into a box and overnight it to ya.

Jamie, can you post all your DTC's?

Hopefully the DTC's have something in common to point you in the right direction. If there are a ton of codes, write them all down, clear them & then start the truck again.
Check the codes as soon as the CEL comes on again.
The DTC's are the "window" into the ECM.

Also keep a close eye on your engine oil level with that new injector in there.

I hope you make it home with no major issues.


On my common rail, I cranked the engine over with the ignition key off to prime my turbo's with no issue.
If you are using the ignition key to crank the engine, the ECM, lift pump & the CP3 are active, plus the injectors are firing if connected.

I used a remote start switch directly on the starter then noticed that there is a convenient connector splice right under the fuse box (behind the driver's side headlight).
It's a heavier gauge yellow wire that goes to the starter solenoid.
Unplug the connector, connect the remote start switch to the positive terminal of the battery & then to the connector to activate the starter.

Crank away. No fuel is being delivered. I actually had my ignition key in "accessory" position so I could watch my Autometer oil pressure gauge while cranking.

No problem at all Jamie, great seeing you & the truck's new turbo's look great. Glad to hear all is running well.


The ATS website is messed up. My twins kit is not even on there at the moment nor are all the individual parts nor is the "search" function working on their website.

The p/n for ATS intake hose on my truck for their twins kit is confusing.
This is from the hard copy install manuals for my kit:

5” to 4” Reinforced Silicone Intake Tube 202-070-2272
or
5” to 4” Reinforced Silicone Intake Tube 2272--202-031



My kit came with a smaller AFE ProGuard 5 air filter.
I upgraded to a larger AFE ProGuard7 air filter. ProGuard7 flows less but better filtration.
It's an oiled filter which I much prefer over washable dry air filters.

It's the same air filter used in the BD twins kit & most likely others like the DDP & Wicked kit.

AFE p/n 72-90009 (4"inlet x 8"Bottom dia x 7"Top dia x 8"High)

By pure luck this filter was readily available/on the shelf at Mopac in Calgary.
& for the same price as on-line in the U.S. It was C$73, I drove over & picked it up. Sometimes one gets lucky!

Any other questions feel free to ask... Joe

Wow, cheap & ATS don't usually go together!!

The ATS kit has been around a long time & ATS has really refined & made continuous improvements to the piping & fitment over the years
although the turbos are considered old technology these days.

Just fyi, the 5" to 4" intake pipe connects to the intake elbow with a short 4" piece of pipe & hose clamps.
No need for T-bolt clamps on the intake side of things.

I like the ATS heat shield too. It fits in there nicely, 2 prongs in the rear utilize the stock airbox rear grommets & a single bolt up front.
It has a 4" pass thru flange. The elbow connects to the bottom of it. The air filter connects to the top.
The air filter clamp can be tricky. I use a super long 1/4" drive extension with a nut driver, from the very front, beside the passenger side headlite.

I'm sure it will fit together nicely. I think you are going to end up with some really nice modern screaming turbos plus the nice ATS piping. The best of both worlds!

Still wish I could have what Jamie has for twins for any of my trucks. One day, I'm trying to hack together a HE341 and a S366 on the cheap, just cause any bodies turbos these days are way to much money for me.

Was told today that the EFR BW stuff still has issues, so no delivery date.

I got the intake tube and compact 90 Joe. They sent me the wrong air filter sheild (go figure). They sent me this small metal sheild stamped ATS Diesel. Do you have the part number for that air cleaner sheild??

Hi Jamie, sorry to hear about the ATS mixup...

It sounds like they sent you the exhaust heat shield for the Aurora Plus kit. Small 90degree sheet metal with "ATS Diesel" cut out in it.


For the air filter box I show:

ATS Twins kit Air Box enclosure, p/n 2272-202-030


The ATS website is ticking me off. You used to be able to search any p/n on their website & it was all there.


BTW, when you install that air box, that double sided stud on the rad support used to hold the original air box is no longer needed.
I just swapped that double sided stud with another regular bolt on the underside of the rad support.
Paint it body color with touch up paint & it cleans that up.

Thanks for stopping by my friend today. Was cool to take a ride along. Was fairly impressed on fast the boost comes on and well the S478 lites up. I've run S475 before and they seemed laggier than your truck. For truck running a big tune, I was impressed on how little smoke you have.

I have a pretty solid tune put together for it already, if he makes the switch.

Here is the future of the new ASW twins builds.
http://vibrantperformance.com/catalo...Path=1022_1250

We going to give them a try out, if they survive 110 psi on that truck, it will survive anyones. Nice part is you can get them in quick release, no tools needed.
