I ordered one today so well see how it goes i'll report back once i install it...I cant wait to have boost back, the truck already pulls hard so that extra boost should be nice..

Before the Smarty I had 29psi max. After the Smarty I can hit 35 max. Yes please report back Jiggerman this is a interesting thread. The other thing I noticed I can hit 35 psi on Smarty level 1 through 9, dosen't seem to matter the #, and the timing is always at max ( level 4 in the revo settings)

No problem James. Thats the opposite of how it works for me. Without smarty i can hit up to 35lbs but with Smarty i only hit 30lbs. max at WOT. How is your truck running with the Revo setting 4 for timing. I wanted to try it but after taking the suggestion from earlier in this thread i decided not to go back, but as stated does feel more powerful for some reason(anyone?)

I do beleive more timing is more power (to a certain point), but also flatter boost ramp / less max (at least in my experience)....that's why i wrote my thread above....basically, when i run revo or tnt, i personally prefer to run the aftermarket injector timing....for daily driving, faster boost / spool is more useful than ultimate hp at wot...but i am guessing it's giving up some actual max hp....just wierd as i can go for a drive right now and hit 45psi easily with only smarty wastegate disable...I dont do it often on the stock turbo, but that's why i have the shiney HTT getting ready for install. In any event, if you cant get over 30-35psi for what ever reason...definately get a boost fooler.

I agree with the quicker boost ramp i can definetly feel the difference between the two, but if i can manage to get some extra milage i'll try it out. I really appreciate everyones opinion. I'm picking up the fooler tomorrow ill let everyone knows how it goes...

ok so i got my quad std today after much work this week and no time to do anything. The first ride i cant really tell the quads there but i think thats due to the switch of my fuel pump being broke. However the boost issue is fixed and i boosted up to 42lbs today and saw a max temp of 1325!! Really happy with the investment and getting ready to send the quad in so i can have the X2...Anyone with this problem don't hesitate on the cheap fix its definetly worth it!!!

I dont know if its because I have an SPS62 turbo or what, but mine barely sees 35psi on smarty levels 1-9. I DO have a boostfooler too. I have adjusted the wastegate and checked for leaks. Any ideas? are there any others with 62mm turbo and stock fueling that see better than 35psi with smarty.
