Yea well I had a comp box on my truck for two days and I sent it back cause I felt as if it didnt perform well with my superchips stacked.. I took the superchips out and ran the comp alone with the 150's and i seen no smoke on 5x5 it felt as if my pedel was dead. I stacked the superchips and the comp together and dang It smoked so much I blacked out the traffic lights here in town and cars where almost coming to a complete stop in the road it was that black.. and It made my truck slower. I also put the Edge boost elbow on my turbo and my boost went down I was like a 7lbs maxed and it just smoked crazy.So I took that off and put the stock elbow back on and my boost went back up I dont get it ..With the money I got back from the EDGE I put it in the bank and saved up and bought me the HTT pro street 66/71/14.. I want to stop some of the smoke like when I get on my truck I dont want it to still smoke heavy I want it to GO with less smoke ya know. How many Lbs. of boost do you think to get it to spool.?

It sounds like you had a leak somewhere in that boost elbow install... But like you described blacking out the intersections and tons of smoke, that's the kind of fuel you're gonna need to spool that turbo. The more fuel the better for that thing. If you had a bad experience with the edge comp, go to the juice. You're gonna need at least the edge tuner and 200hp injectors to be happy at all with that turbo on a vp truck. As connermcpherson explained earlier, he loves his 66 on his p pump truck. You need to add fuel. Now boost pressure is going to increase with the more fuel you add, as well as better spool time.

Cummins Smoke 24V,

So have you gotten around to bolting that thing up? How is it running? I am running a Super B Special on mine with some 175hp injectors. I have just had to re-learn driving with it and being an auto. I am running a Edge Juice and a Smarty stack and it seems that the Smarty helps me with the spool up. I do not plan on living up North forever and will be heading back to South Florida. But my setup seems to be doing pretty good and I am happy with it. I am interested to see your thoughts once you get it on.
