ok I am not impressed at all at this point with the 62/13. First off I csan't get the boost any higher than about 38-39psi I've turned it up as far as I can and it feels like the rod is binding, In know that it won't light as fast as the stock charger but it doesn't even seem to pull any harder at all about the only thing that is better is a little lower egt's. As of right now I am extremely disapointed in this $1800 upgrade!!! any help or info would be great.

get an adjustable elbow..... i see 53 psi out of my 64/14.... you should see that out of yours.... and mine isn't real laggy....but it don't light like an HX35 either....

definatly dosnt light as soon as the 35 but its more of a constant pull until YOU stop its like it never runs out. but you still should be seeing 45 with what you got. what are your cruising egts, maybe around 3-4psi?

a few 3rd gen guys have a similar problems getting theirs to light and then when it does, its not making very good boost. i hope you can get it figured out

definatly wouldnt be happy if i had numbers like that.

although just noticed that everyone thats had probs on the 3rd gens dont seem to be running enough fuel.. not sure how the fueling boxes and programers are but none seem to run injectors

some of these 3rd genners that are having the problem I'm having said to clamp the hose of the wastegate closed. I also need help clearing up which direction you turn the nut for more boost, if I turn the nut clock wise the rod gets shorter and now there is only a 1" to 1 1/4" left of threads and it's binding. Do I have to turn it the other direction so that the rod gets longer, doesn't the wastegate push the rod towards the exhaust manifold? Sure hope this thing works

clutch1

shortening the rod is for more boost.

bridleman

Checked all hoses and bolts eveything is tight as a drum put a vise grip on wastegate hose and abousolutely no boost press. increase, what the heck is going on? I'm pretty sure I have enough fuel ???

sledneck1

perhapps you should pressurize the system and go looking for boost leaks? It may be just that simple... or not...

clutch1

you definatly should have enough fuel. something dont sound right.

boost psi aside how is the truck running does it run any better with the little increase you got? does it clear the smoke? what are your cruising egts and cruising psi?

bridleman

Truck pulls no harder than stock charger pyro running about the same cruise in town 600 degrees have not got it on the highway but as far as I'm concerned no need to cause it's not pulling that hard anyhow can't get over 39psi of boost Really!... really! smoky down low no diff than the stock charger........maybe worse. Oh yeah I didn't get any increase in boost from the stock it was running 40psi all day
