haha, this thread is antique!

Ive since had this thing smokin like a freight train

problem is, everyone says haviving alot of preboost fuel stalls the turbo, i see otherwise. Im actually faster off the line and up top and make all kinds of boost with the AFC 'turned up' (slid forward, starwheel forward and smoke screw in).

If i actually tune the AFC the way some guides explain, my truck is slow as hell and falls on its *** above 2200rpm and can barely make 25 pounds of boost!

if you've got little injectors, then yeah you can hit it with everything the pump's got and it'll light up nice, but if you really start putting out some fuel, I promise you a properly tuned AFC will light the turbo faster

Default nozzles

If you guys are looking for the cheap way, dont you guys buy nozzles and have your injectors pop tested?

nope, the 12v injectors are cheap enough that you just buy the whole thing. if you start taking 24v and newer, then yea, injectors are hella expensive and you have the option of getting nozzles!
