Pullin same mtn drop to 4th and float the pedal to maintain 40mph and under 1200*

Before I turned it up I could hit 2600 no problem. And during my mtn pull I maintained 40mph and 1100ish degrees by floating the pedal. I was not flooring the pedal. I'll post new vid as soon as tach arrives.
Thanks fellas. I'm real happy that I can hold 40mph in 4th now on the mtn. I used to down shift to 3rd and almost not make it before needing to shift to 2nd. I may just leave it and keep my eyes on it. After all I'm the only driver for it. I still couldn't achieve more than 12psi so I may still...

Pullin mtn I live on. Had to drop to 4th and light foot it to stay under 1200 but it held a steady 40mph even tho I was featherin.
Still no tach cable yet but I'll post new vid as soon as I get one.
Yeah for now I'm just gonna dial mine back. My new cable will be in in a couple days and I'll get vid of the smoke and rpms. I haven't even tried to take it of the mtn where I live yet. I'm a bit worried it's gonna get hot
I got 4 turbos of various sizes sittin round. I'd be interested to see how a bigger turbo plays out. I also wonder how well a good ole C turbo can preform if it was intercooled? If I knew I could just intercool mine and turn it up a little more I'd be one coal Rollin SOB. cause I got some...
At the moment no I do not. I do know that before the cable broke my truck would turn a consistent 2700 no load. I could easily hit 2600 driving and hold it. To my knowledge the FDC bypass won't change the governor settings? But when my new cable arrives this week I'll be sure to get new video
Yeah mines a Hewitt K thermo pre turbo. I can hit 1200* any time I wish right now. It comes on quick. I may also buy a 15lb gauge cause I'd like to see the full range used. I will get the wife to chase me around and make a video soon
Mine is located in the rear bank pre-turbo. This is a brand new gauge from Hewitt. I wasn't expecting it to miss the pressure by much. I live in some hilly country and so far I can just relax the throttle and keep it around 1000-1100. It will however hit 1200 quick in a hard acceleration. I'm...
You think the gauge is off that bad? How can I cure that? Cause I'm just about to call and order a 0-15 cause it looks weak on the 30lb gauge.
Here is my crappy video. Let's see how it works

So I got the FDC bypassed yesterday and let me say WOW the truck is a beast now!!! Pulls 11psi quickly. Only problem is it's real easy to flirt with that 1200* mark. Not a crazy amount of black smoke either. Prob gonna dial it back down. I took a video but I can't figure out how to load it. It's...
Will do man I plan on bypassing this week. I drove it some more yesterday and the absolute most i ever got was 5psi I live in some hilly country. EGT's never got above 1000. And truthfully from the angle I look at my gauges it may have only been 950.... But at cruise running 50 I had 0psi and...
Thanks fellas. Mine is a "C" turbo if that helps, FDC and IP are untouched. Fixin to not be the case. I plan to bypass and bump the fuel a bit. I sort of wish I only got a 15 psi gauge. Kinda unsatisfying seein a 5psi on 30!! Lol.
I put the pyro probe in the rear bank of the manifold pre-turbo.
Installed my pyro and boost gauge today and at very best in a lugging pull uphill my truck only built 5psi. Pyro ran to about 950-1000 do I have a boost issue or is my truck just weak? New fuel filters, pump runs great. Cranks and runs out up to 2600rpm and 60mph decently well
Thanks fellas for...
