hey all, new to this forum and i gotta say, i didnt know a damn thing about 6.9's until I found this place. the info here is awesome. I have an '84 f250 with 6.9 and banks turbo. I have seen some posts talking about unhooking the wastegate and turning up the IP. I dont know a whole lot about my turbo setup, or diesel engines in general for that matter. my questions are does the banks turbo have a wastegate and if so how do I unhook it, and were is the injection pump and how do you turn it up? Is it something that can be done to the 6.9 or does it just apply to the 7.3? My boost gauge only shows that im gettin a max of about 7#'s and thats goin over the grapevine in so-cal(a big ass hill) with a ton in my bed, foot to the floor, and was doin about 65 mph(this is my first 6.9 and I was pleasently suprised with how well it scooted, having previously owned a chevy w/a 6.5 I wasnt expecting much ) . egt reads somewhere around 800-900. are these acceptable numbers or should I be gettin more boost? If theres any one that can help me I'm sure that its somone in this forum, and I would greatly appreciate the help.
