you gotta have a boost gauge to see how much boost you are making. the computer will defuel if you have sustain boost of over 10 psi but if you spike more than that for a short time it will not cut out. to much boost and your at the least getting new headgaskets. hopefully you dont blow the engine. you need a boost gauge.

 

with the boost fooler is that just fulling the motor saying i am not building as much boost as i really am???could this still cause me to blow headgaskets?

 

You're not going to build enough boost to worry about it,especially if your only building 10-15 psi.

 

still need a boost gauge but no most likely you will not blow a headgasket below 15 psi

 

ok....i am purchasing gauges also then...do you neccesarly have to screw with the vaccum system like could i leave it on the truck and not mess with it..because the high tempetures here are about 20 degrees

 

no just un hook the vaccum line. i feel for you. yesterday it was a windchill of -20 here

 

yea thats why i have not fooled with it i am really hoping that this fixes it because if not i am in deep trouble...no vehicle to drive only flys for so long..and holy cow that is cold

 

I feel for you guys or should I say I don't. Down here in Arizona it was 70 at about 1:00 today. The lowest it has hit so far is 31. Still riding the Harley in January. Wouldn't even know how to act with that sort of temps. With regards to the Turbo master it is either the turbo master or running thru the vacuum not both. I am pretty new at all this diesel and it is really cool to learn all the tricks of the diesel trade that is a a far cry from the gas knowledge of engines.

 

We had -20 below this week too,right now we're having a heat wave -8 below with wind chills to -20 below.
6.5L I think your having more than turbo problems.You should wire your turbo open and closed to see if it makes a difference.I think your going to find out it's not the turbo,not if your putting out that much black smoke.But wiring your turbo open will answer your question to weather or not it is the turbo.

 

i wired the wastegate shut about 3 weeks ago.. it didn't fix a damn thing still smoked the same amount so do you believe it is my vaccum system>??
