Questions...
I have a few questions about my 1998.5 24v turbodiesel. I have owned the truck for 3 years. My truck has the infamous 53 series block which is cracked about 5". I repaired the block by using the lock-n-stitch kit. It went fantastic and doesn't leak anymore...I have added a , tst powermax, 300hp ISB 24v marine injectors, 4" exhaust, EGT Boost Fuel Pressure gauges, big head wastegate, ats pulse flow manifold, gauges, fass ddrp, South Bend Clutch, Carter lift pump, and an intake. I have just purchased a smarty and plan on using the smarty and tst in a stack. I am aware I cannot use two timing boxes stacked. MY question is will the two stack correctly? Will my 40 PSI boost from my hx-35 handle that amount of fuel? Will my EGTs be too high?
Any feedback is appreciated!
Thanks

I ran the tst and smarty stack for quite a while and loved it. I liked it even more than the drag comp smarty stack. As far as your turbo goes you will be able to drive and use your truck just fine but not to it's full potential without having egt issues. It's going to get hot pretty fast under full throttle. I would be looking for a turbo upgrade in the future Enjoy the the tst smarty stack

after 35psi it's just hot air and reducing the life trust me I know 3 people that were running 40-45psi and lost them this year.

Update: The truck has a full set of gauges (EGT, boost, Fuel pressure) the truck also has a south bend clutch and has a DDRP with the high pressure spring installed as well as a carter lift pump. The injectors are Bosch 300HP 24v ISB injectors, so they are close to the same as the rv 275's.

. I am looking for good power, but still good mileage. I frequently drive across Washington state and need good mpg's. I really don't want to upgrade the turbocharger, but may be forced to. I would be going with a twin setup fabricated by myself. I've read about hx-35 and s400's in conjunction. Is this a viable option?
