Not gonna work with a down loader, need a box type like an Edge that taps into the map sensor. The way it works is, the switch pretty much bypasses the map sensor and feeds a full 5v to the computer telling its at full boost so dump more fuel. Its kinda bad for your truck and wastes fuel neways.... Welcome to DieselBombers as well!

Trust me bub getting more smoke is not the thing to do now. You have a CR so you can get a programmer and some Injectors and a Turbo and some Head studs. So just us them wise. All might I add a Brand new trans to go with all that
