turbo spooling

[tyfoo]

I don't hear the turbo spooling am i suspose to?

how could i tell if the owner before me played with the ecm or used a programer or chip
.

If the stock air filter has been replaced with a K&N or other aftermarket filter you should hear it. If the stock cross-over air tube has been removed and you just have some type of cone filter on the end you should really hear it spool.

If the tamper resistant tape on the ECM has been broken, than its a 50/50 that the chip has been modded/changed.

Maybe one of the ECM modding guys (Nolan from the Canadian crew) can tell you what things would indicate that ECM has been modded.

Just my 2 cents!

i didn't hear mine on the stock setuup either...you can't really judge things by sound in this case.

take the crossover tube off and then you'll hear it for sure.

Stock boost gauge too? Hmm, get an aftermarket gauge, stock boost gauge is very inaccurate.

You should probably get a scantool like DataMaster to accurately tell if the stock wastegate is spilling the proper amount of exhaust at the right time. But in the mean-time, check your vaccum hoses for a kink; the adjustment rod for the wastegate, it maybe too tight and definitely check to see what type chip you have. I'v heard that the Kenny Bell's are notorious for overboosting. Oh two other things; the wastegate solenoid could be bad and/or the MAP sensor could be the wrong bar type for your chip or the MAP could be bad.

I have a K&N in the air box with crossover tube, and I can not hear the turbo from in the truck but it can be heard from outside the truck. I hope you have a scantool, if I had an overboost problem id be scared shitless to drive my truck.
