92 needs to run better

I have done one turn on the fuel screw and that helped some what can be done to make it pull better it s an auto? It only gets about 10 to 15 pounds of boost with a load on it the turbo is stock as far as I know. What can be done for more boost on that turbo? Any other suggestions to make it run better would be great. Thanks.

Well, I would start with some more air.. Better air filter set-up, BHAF.. Then do the exhaust.. There are a few companies that makes kits.. Then a pyro gauge if you don't have one.. Rotate the stock fuel pin to the deepest point, or get a aftermarket one that really helps. Check the sticky on the top of the 1st gen homepage, there is some good pump tuning info in there..

Yeah, I'd say hit up the sticky for some good useful inforamtion. In there, there is a performance section where you can tweak your pump, make a setup for a BHAF, and lots of other little goodies!

might be that your auto tranny ain't that much of a spring chicken anymore and is eating up 1/2 of the engine power...

3200 gov. spring, Gauges, BHAF, 4" exhaust,fuel pin (DennyT), bump the timing, gauges, more pump tweakage, its really the weak converter that is stopping even your stock power from getting to the ground.

Hit up this thread- https://www.dieseltruckresource.com/...t-t102027.html
Thats the sticky, it has everything you could possibly wanna know ... well almost... scroll down to performance when you open it. you'll see drivetrain, electrical, performance ...etc. it covers everything
