[QUOTE="imelmo, post: 707287, member: 110"] This truck is becoming tiring. :doh: I had some Elite 205/100's put in along with a Hellmann intercooler. Previous mods on the truck are a billet wheeled Powermax, Innovative tunes, ITP regulated return, Absolute ported manifold, No Limit intercooler piping, AFE intake, 4" straight pipe. Before installing the injectors and intercooler, egt's at 80mph were about 850*-900*. Boost cruising at that speed was about 8-10psi. Other than tip-in the truck was almost completely smoke free. At wot in top gear it is smokeless. Max boost was 31psi. Now after installing the injectors and intercooler, egt's at that same speed are 1000*, sometimes more. Boost cruising at that speed is only about 4psi. It is very smokey at any speed, even when trying to take it easy. Max boost still shows 31psi. I've been told the max boost reading could be wrong as I'm using my Edge CTS for that and it may max out at 31psi. But what about the smoke, egt's, and cruising boost? It acts like a boost leak but I can't find any signs of one anywhere. I expected it to be a little smokey but not like it is now. And I definitely didn't expect the high egt's. I've had Hellmann intercoolers on all my trucks and they've always dropped my egt's by 150*-200* unloaded. If it wasn't for the Hellmann intercooler I probably wouldn't be able to drive the thing. :P So what all do I need to start checking besides possible boost leaks? . [/QUOTE]
