Default Needing a little help

So I just bought a 2006 5.9 cummins, I bought it knowing the turbo was bad and just replaced it. Now that I have it running its sounds like its missing. I did some feeling around on the fuel lines and I can feel pulsing in the number one injector line. Any ideas or help would be appreciated.

Thanks, Tanner

Any smoke? Probably a bad injector.

White smoke. I was also reading about bad injector wiring, is there some place I should check for that?

Just curious what Turbo did you go with?
Mine just went out.

I would pull the valve cover off and check the connections on the injectors and make sure they are nice a tight if they seem good, take it off and then check the harness. It would be nice if you could get some one with an OBDII that can do a Injector Cut out test and check your injectors that way too. But do not run the truck very long because a bad injector can cause excessive heat in a cylinder and cause scoreing in the cylinder which will lead to loss of compression and will lead to a engine overhaul. If you are having hard start issues it may also be the cross over tube. I think my buddy ChaseW can vouche for that...
