?smoke switch?
i was just wondering is a smoke switch a good thing or not? does it even make a difference? and if so how do i do it?:humm:

i'm no expert as i've never had one but i believe it's just a boost fooler and opens your wastegate so you make no boost which in turn gives you less air which wastes fuel and pumps black smoke. hence the smoke switch
|
Just don't do it
Just get a programmer, and build up your truck instead of being hard on it |
^^^true. i usually add that but must have forgetten.
remember....smoke=bad where there is smoke there is power to be made by adding air to that unburned fuel |
i have 1 on my 1999 ctd. and holy crap it makes a differents its like coal( at a stand still) it WILL hurt your truck if u drive with it on all the time and u wont see a lot of smoke driving!!! but it is SUPER easy to put on. all u need is some wire and a toggle switch! and a chip cuz u have 2 tap into 1 of its wires but a basic chip will work i have a edge EZ and that works! i dont know if u can do it with out a chip?but i didnt use the switch all the time but my fuel pump just went out so idk if thats because of the switch? but i have had it 4 a yr or so! so i got a fuel pump and lift pump with 65hp injectors! but thats salty! :( i will post the vid i used to do it!:jump::yeah:

Also, when people go around dumping out as much black smoke as possible, it screws us diesel lovers! There is a possibilty that stunts like that will get California style emission laws EVERYWHERE. Cops can give you a ticket as well.

Look at RAW, he put his own Compound turbos together on his truck and didn't have to shell out the 2-5 thousand. Thats the stuff that is worth while. Might as well just put a plastic bag around the air filter |
