you cant run a smoker switch on a truck with stock exhaust. far too much restriction. did you follow the youtube guys instructions? because it shouldnt be throwing codes. all it does is fool you computer in thinking its at full boost so it just maxes out the fuel pump.

A 2000 tune adrenaline or a drag comp on 5x5 will black out a highway till the turbo builds boost. I can't imagine this tune with the great big injectors some run. To much fuel on the bottom kills turbo spoolup by smothering the fire.
