Those of you with 03-05 cummins running a boost tube, bleeder, valve, or other type of manual boost control///

What are you using?
What type of boost increase are you seeing?
Are you using it with any tuning products? (Edge box, microtuner, etc...)

From what I hear, the hose to the wastegate is not soft, so it's not as simple to "tee" as the older trucks.

Any ideas on this?

thanks in advance.

Vic I'm not running more than stock. I believe you own a Terminator Cobra like myself and welcome to a new board.

Sure do =o)

Regarding the "Dadge", I'm going to be playing a bit with manual boost control.

I run an electronic boost controller that is part of the SP Diesel Eliminator on my 04.5.

Vic - just to let you know there is no extra power to be had by turning up the boost on your stock turbo. Adding boost will only serve to cool down EGT's - to a point - you need to add more fuel to get more power. I think the stock turbo is good for about 33psi or so.

I forgot to mention that I tune diesels for a living, but only Ford up to this point.
I have full capability of re-tuning the stock program to make as much "smoke" as I want =o)

On the Fords, boost was controlled through the computer...not gonna be so lucky here.

Vic,

On the 04.5 and up Dodge's you can control boost through electronics, most manufacturers just don't do it for some reason.

Give us a call if you have any questions.

I haven't looked at an 04 1/2 - 05 yet+ yet, but it *appears* you can't control boost electronically on the 03 and early 04

I'll be giving you a call for sure.

thanks,


ps: You may not have noticed the typo..."sponsor" is misspelled as "sponser" in your signature.

Oops good catch....nobody ever said engineers were know for there spelling.

Your right on the 03-04 as they have a mechanical wastegate from the factory. If the wastegate solenoid on an 04.5 and up turbo fits on an 03-4 we can easily take control, if anyone wants to make the mod.

Vic_Ferrari

Gotcha....so what happens with 03 and early 04 if you want to raise boost with the stock W.G.?

It is a hard tube from the nipple to the wastegate, no?

It would require some cutting and the installation of a simple ball/spring/bleed valve, right?

i have a piers bomber lite and im running 30#as per piers and i dont know but it does help cool with full 4 inch exhaust and airaid inlet filter and mit tube ,with the bully dog on 90 hp the truck runs 1250 full push and it ran ok with stock 24# ,but it lit the truck up at 30#,so i beg to differ on hp if you add boost and fuel.

Hey....I left one of the "o's" out of the word "boost" in the thread topic.
