HELP GUYS!!!! quick question

[artisticent]

So I bought a syclone last week but the turbo was leaking. Turns out that the silicone coupler had slipped off the input elbow of the aftermarket intercooler mounted under the front bumper. So I sealed it up the best I could and the truck launched FAST FAST, with the boost gauge showing about 10lbs. Then, after a few launches the coupler popped off again, so I bought a 6 inch piece from Orme and replaced the 3" piece that kept sliding off. Now the boost gauge gets up to 15lbs which it did not do before but it feels like now just after the initial luanch the truck has lag once the boost has built up.The truck is just not as fast once the boost has a chance to build up. Could I be running too much boost? do I need to adjust the rod out of the solonoid so that the wastgate does not open as much?
WHAT DO I CHECK??
Thanks
Nathan

Re: HELP GUYS!!!! quick question

If it feels slower at 15psi than 10psi your probably running into tune issue, most likely Knock count which is retarding the timing. I would look at scan tool to see what going on.

Re: HELP GUYS!!!! quick question

I just replaced the spark plugs with NGK v-power and had some custom made Taylor wires made, new cap and rotor and checked timing, but I do need to connect it to a laptop and check what that has to tell me. My plugs are gapped about 30 and it ran great with that done before I sealed up the pipes with a better coupling. WHAT??

If you have not purchased Data Master or Tuner Pro (I recommend Tuner Pro) and the cables to hook up. I would do it now BEFORE YOU HAMMER ON IT ANY MORE. Even a stock truck can go boom if somthing is out of whack and sounds like your truck has mod's. That can be double nasty and it will happen so fast under boost that by the time you can pull your foot out of it.... it will be to late :tup: .These trucks can be a blast but the main reason most of them are broke so much (if not all the time) and can make Donald Trump's wallet scream in agony :rotf: is because of not verifying the state of tune and proper operating conditions, stock can be bad enough but unchecked mod's is sure death. So you have been advised.

With that said, WELCOME! We will be happy to help out and try to keep you happy and running strong instead of broken and broke :tup:

Re: HELP GUYS!!!! quick question

It's ok, not as good as and actual full custom tune or a Ultimate / Phil long switch chip and certainly not as good as code $59 but it's ok for a mild "plug and forget chip" at least it's not a K/B "Boomchip" :rotf:!

Re: HELP GUYS!!!! quick question

Thanks James,

I need to check all the mods made to my truck. I know about the adjustable FPR, upgraded fuel pump, msd igntion, intercooler setup but I just dont know about injectors(if not stock) or anything else. Im hopefuly getting it read with the PC today.
Then I can decidewhat chip is best.
Thanks
Nathan

Re: HELP GUYS!!!! quick question

I pulled out one of the injectors which was a 2tone black and the bottom half green or grey and the only number on it was 412225324366. What are these, I am worried that during some rebuild a guy might have ordered generic or the wrong ones.
ANY HELP
thanks
