    inputs to control turbo

    when you are saying pneumatic are you referring to simply using boost to open/close the vanes. This would essentially turn the vanes into a wastegate. If I am understanding arduino correctly it would simply be a microprocessor that would replace the pcm and I would have to write my own...

    inputs to control turbo

    Been gone for a while. I have previously been in the idi forum. I have traded the idi to my dad for a 92 12 valve. I have also recently bought an 04 4x4 crewcab 6.0. I eventually plan to swap the 5.9 into the 04. When I do I was thinking why not go vgt on the 12 valve. I will already have...

    Fuel mileage

    a turbo will not increase mpg, your right foot determines mpg, mine averages around 14 or 15 mixed hwy and city, highest was 21 doing a constant 55 down the highway with about 1200 lbs in the bed, worst has been 9 towing a D3 dozer and a 580E backhoe. it gets about 13-14 down the highway at 70...

    Stop, filter time

    wix 34417 fuel filter is one piece with a drain integrated into it so you dont have to deal with multiple pieces to the fuel filter. fl1995 oil filter and you will need approx 11 quarts to refill, I always add 10 and wait a sec then check.

    Italian Tuneup

    So let's talk gears

    http://www.grimmjeeper.com/gears.html If I got everything correct 4.10 would put you at 1850 rpm at 70, imo that is a little low for powerband and pulling but would make for some good mileage 4.30's would make it around 2000 at 70 4.56's would put it around 2100 at 70 I would say...

    diesel run away tonight while going down the road

    chuffing on a cold engine is more than likely lifters that arent fully pumped up yet. Mine actually does it pretty bad on cold start but I havent worried about it to much
