Reviving The General Tao
SuuuuuWEET! I just got giddy watchin that boost gauge! Was that tire chirping I heard in the downshifts? I'm not alone! Nice clean dash setup.

I hear an boost leak or your intake hat isn't tight. Not being there I really can't say much more but something is leaking. After I had my new Moose pump installed at the 2009 ralley I heard something just like what your rig sounds like. I was passing Kingman Az. almost home... Pulled over and found the filter to the turbo had loosened up and was allowing the turbo compresser side make all kinds of turbo noise in the cab. Adjusted it and tightened it up good this time.... No more noise... You might want to look around the turbo intake for a leak. If its an exhaust leak you will see some crabon and soot later on... That boost sure jumps up too. Almost makes me think your gauge is ***** at how fast it climbs... You need to stop smileing too. It hurts after many hours of a long drive.......
might have to look into mine. my boost climbs nowhere like that, slowly all the way up to 11 psi max. that swith the wastegate pluged and pump up 2 flats. still has stock ford dp though.

no boost leaks of any sort on intake or exhaust side, its so loud because I only have a cone filter clamped onto the turbo and the heater box semi-open into the cab.
As for the gauge being *****, I know just because its new doesnt mean its not broken, but I highly doubt it is. Boost is actually a little slower climbing now that I shortened the WG rod. with the rod in the stock position i was seeing 12-13psi and it would hit it nearly instantly... now it jumps up, and walks up.
Highest EGT I have seen so far was 1100* hammering it like that. I still have a haze of black under full spool and WOT so I think I can turn my fuel screw down just a flat or two and get those EGT's lower.
Sounds about right. Before I put the DPS parts in I had my 6.9 pump turned up 2-3flats with B-codes. WG was working and in the stock poistion It would slowly (ish) climb to about 8-9psi. First time I took it out with the DPS stuff I noticed a huge difference right away... WAY more power off the line, faster revving and it slapped 10psi nearly the second I punched it, and would walk up to 12-13psi as the RPM's increased.
This run was with ajustment of the WG rod. The initial climb is a tad slower, but once its up a little bit, as you can see it has no problem boosting.
I like them. I see what people have said about the pintle being non-existent, but I'm still not sure on whether its bad or not. However all of the bad traits i was told i would have. Rough idle, excessive smoke, smokey idle... ect... I dont have any of these issues. Truck fires up no problem... smokes a little cold... then completely goes away. Idles very smooth, and has lots more power now over the 6.9 pump and B codes.

That boost gauge is begging for mercy!
What turbo are you running?

Ya I should of gotten higher than a 15psi gauge but I thought that I would be struggling to hit that.... apparently not.
ATS 093
I definitely need more turbo. SWBF100 and I are going to do a little research and see about upgrading my compressor side to something from a T04R or T-66.

Hmm, maybe Ken has improved some of his IDI products thanks to some competition from the Moose Line. I cam very close to buying a pump from him in 07 when I had my last one die but was concerned about not being able to get him on the phone if I had a problem. NMB2 your truck is great all that hard work paying off huh? And I was thinking the same thing "damn, should have bought the 25 or 35 psiG gauge"

Perhaps he has. Fortunately I have had some good luck with him. He is a tad hard to get a hold of especially this time of year. I was a little apprehensive due to some of the warnings I got but luckily it looks like I have none of these issues. This fuel system is definitely a beast. He said from where he sent it to me set at... It can still be increased. He would only recommend increasing it another 15% - 20% on my setup. This pump flows 4x the amount of fuel as the factory turbo pump. Looks like a turbo upgrade is in order.
Cant wait to get a trailer behind this thing and see how it does.
Oh and yes, I definitely need to buy the 25psi gauge, I'm going to see if I can trade out.

Are those Stage 1 injectors, i was thinking about those.

DPS stage 1 injectors and DPS turbo calibrated pump.
I definitely wouldn't put them in an N/A truck. My 093 turbo pushing 18psi wont even fully clean it up under WOT. Driving normal though, its pretty clean. Its a pretty good setup IMO.

What do you mean clean it up ?
I was interested in them and then turning up my stock pump 1 turn. I plan on a turbo soon but not just yet.

I mean it rolls some mean coal under WOT, meaning its out fueling what my turbo can burn up. Definitely too much fuel for an N/A truck. I would recommend getting both pump and sticks for the best results.
