starwheel adjustment
#3
which way did u go with the starwheel? Towards or away from the engine. I just recently took my fuelplate out but even with the 100 plate and starwheel adj it creates a big cloud. But the reason why it dont smoke in lower gears is cause its running to many rpms and its defueling. A govenor spring kit (gsk) will fix that though.

if you sit there and put the star wheel full forward then your just dumping tooo much fuel.. all your doing is making the engine bog down, which means turbo lag. If you just tune the star wheel properly there will be less smoke and the turbo will light quicker. but thats just all from what ive learned

Are you sure you didn't also block the boost line going to the AFC? If that line is blocked it won't matter how loose you set the spring. I personally wouldn't gut it as the loss of drivability is not worth it. besides like ^ said if you dump too much fuel in too quick you actually make your truck SLOWER. Here is a pic to kind of give you an idea how this works.

on my truck i never blocked the wastgate even when i had the stock turbo. i just slaped a boost elbow right on the front of the turbo set it to where i wanted it , adjusted the star wheel to where i had a little bit more then enough fuel to spin make the turbo light and i was done with it. When i got my 64 on i put in the exhaust manifold, and the hx-40 style dp at the same time. all i had to do for that was adjust the wastegate because it came with an adjustable one. then i test drove it tuned the star wheel again to make the turbo light how i wanted it which means less smoke but thats due to quicker spool
