I have a question on the comp.
I just installed it and was told if I dont tap into the IP level 4 and 5 will be like 3. My directions I got with the comp were very unclear on what wire to tap. I seem to smoke more on level 5 than 3 but cant tell for sure if I tapped the right wire for the IP. Does anyone have a more clear explanation or picture of the right wire?
Thanks

THe wire in ? on the injection pump is the one closes to the motor side. If you are standing in front of the truck facing it , it is on your left side of the injection pump.I would also solder it instead of using the tap they gave you in the kit.Mine has been on the truck since 2002 solder wire.Sorry dont have a pic.

Both wires are black, but as long as you tapped the left one, you're set.

I just installed a stealth cover when I replaced my IP about a month ago... super clean look, and it should solve the corrosion issues you'd run into with a t-tap or a posi-tap or similar. The stealth cover could also help if you ever need warranty stuff on your IP, since it is a lot harder to trace once removed than a tapped wire.

Ok thanks, I followed the wires from the center of the fuel lines, moved down the wire wrap and tapped the left one. I'm thinking about soldering the wires or getting the stealth cover eventhough I dont have to worry about warrantee stuff.
I love th Comp though, its great. Been runnin around on 5x5 and lovin it!

How much does your Edge on 5x5 smoke with an Airdog 150 also?
Not saying I got my Edge for pure smoke I just see tons of video's online of people saying their running my setup and they seem to smoke alot more than I do. This is the reason why I am nervous about my Edge install and the IP tap. I see a power gain but I thought it'll be alot more "snappy" low end wise on 5x5 and smke more, I'm probably wrong and I'm going to do a better tap on the IP wire tommorrow but can someone chime in with there 2 cents?
Thanks!

My old 01 Cummins with just the comp would puff some smoke on 5X5 but nothing like my Adrenaline.

Thanks for the info Luke. I was in a huge debate with myself over getting the Edge Comp or the Addrenalin. I'm just glad I have something.
When you had the Edge what setting did you keep it on when cruising around town?
