    6.5 over boosting?

    no power cut but, before when it hit 15 psi+ it wasnt giving anymore power and it was hitting it at like 1/4 trottle, it was like useless boost, like just blowing hot air. it was defueling i suspect, i have never seen my truck push any black (expect cold start) till i put my homemade wastegate...

    6.5 over boosting?

    i made a homemade turbomaster, and it seems to boost more relative to the fuel im giving it, before even 1/4-1/2 throttle went to 15 psi +, now with the mechanical wastegate i adjusted, it hits between 9-10psi max boost, and exhuast pushes some black not a crazy amount almost totally clears up...

    6.5 over boosting?

    i took a gander at where the pryometer guage was located on the exhaust and it was after the turbo so could that mean my exhaust gas temp was way higher then it was reading, and cause cause the engine temp to go up?, ill check the clutch fan as well, the pmd is relocated on a heat sink, and...

    6.5 over boosting?

    you may be right, but i think the heater core may be plugged, it girgles once in awhile. other then that hard driving emty it will never rises above 1/4 on the temp guage, just when i pegged it with a 6000 lb trailer on steep climb i it rose and kept rising, to 220-230ish, almost 3/4 on guage...

    i bought 99 6.5 tb a week back, looks to be modded in a few areas from previous owners, and it seems to be hitting 15 psi boost when im towing about 6000 lbs car trailer on climbs, im thinking this cant be stock. Is there any way to adjust the wastegate? temp hit almost 230F going up one of the...
