OK guys, so i hooked up and installed all my gauges last sat. and also installed a 90* boost fooler. ever since the boost fooler installation my truck smokes more on take off and through all the gears. Why do you guys think a boost fooler would cause my truck to smoke. Its not a heavy thick smoke like a comp on 5x5 but its a nice dark haze and sometime rather thick at take off. Anyone have any reasons for why itd smoke more?

 

Is it one with the screw in it to adjust it with or just a solid brass elbow.

 

just solid brass elbow......got it from a buddy and it came with his EZ....

 

What's the boost fooler for in your case. I remember you were hooking up some guages but did you install some electronics to go with it. A chip or something. If you did then smoke is a part of the deal. If you installed the boost fooler without a chip, you slowed down the spooling process and this is why it's smoking. The boost fooler leaks off a small amount of pressure, this is how it works and your truck will smoke until your turbo is spooled. The chip compensate for this by speeding up the boost process.

 

didnt add a chip, just gauges and boost fooler...so will it hurt my truck to run the boost fooler alone or is it perfectly fine to run it.....also, a buddy asked me if running the boost fooler will max out my injectors....i doubt it but idk

 

It won't hurt your truck, but it's goin the wrong way for performance. It's slowing down the spool up process. Your truck will also not build anymore than stock boost because you dion't have something changing any of the programming for the controls like a chip would do. So, no it won't hurt the truck per say but it will slow it down.

 

well, it shows more boost on the gauge than what i had pre fooler......since i drove it before and after fooler install, and spool up seems no slower to me

 

The spool up wil deffinately be slower, that's why your seein the smoke. Smoke clears off when the turbo is spooledon just about any truck.

Who knows, I never claim to be any kind of expert, maybe you found another thing I didn't know. Your computer is controlling boost though, and the comp or whatever chip your running is what tells the truck to de-fuel at what point. Without a chip it should still de-fuel at the factory setting. But, who knows.

 

no chip in the truck at all, stock except for boost fooler. However, pre boost fooler my boost maxed at 18 PSI, after boost fooler install it now maxes at 22-24 PSI

 

I'm not sure, it's been a long time since I have been factory, but I'm pretty sure that it should de-fuel around 22psi factory. I know with the Comp I could push 40 if I was willin to keep my foot in it. I'm a chicken though I back off around 25. I'm still on the factry head gasket and would like to keep it that way for a while. So it sounds like you have a problem in the waste gate already. I would deffinately wait for somebody that knows more than I do to chime in before you get worried about it though.
